Sylvia Meagher wrote the only Index ever created for the Warren Commission Report on the Assassination of President John F. Kennedy. The Warren Commission made every intentional effort to obfuscate history by not creating one themselves. As the result of Meagher's monumental work, the United States House of representatives, according to Senator Richard Schweiker (PA), opened the only official investigation into both the assassination and subsequent Warren Report, an obvious effort to show more creatively rewrite the history of the assassination events and its participants in a way that made serious analysis more - not less - difficult. show less
Sylvia Meagher, author of "Accessories After The Fact," has not only read all 26 volumes of the Warren Commission Testimony and Exhibits, she has studied them. It almost seems as if she has memorized them.
Strange to relate, "The Warren Report" has little relation to the Testimony and Exhibits. Why the commission even published the 26 volumes of testimony and exhibits is a good question, because those 26 volumes (when studied with the determination of a Sylvia Meagher) give the lie to the show more Report. And that is what "Accessories After The Fact" also does, only more succinctly and more powerfully: gives the lie to the Warren Report, by comparing its conclusions with the some of the Testimony and Exhibits.
By comparing "The Warren Report" with the testimony and exhibits, Meagher shows that the Warren Commission was not interested in truth, was not interested in conducting an investigation, but was only interested in framing Lee Harvey Oswald so that the real assassins could escape justice.

One of the best books on the JFK assassination. Meagher painstakingly goes through the Warren Report and points out all the gaps. She doesn't leap to a conspiracy-hypothesis but does destroy the credibility of the Warren Report.
