The authors close by noting that there are "many other books on the subjects of assassination and intelligence." One that they did not include in the above list would be Mark Lane's Rush to Judgement, for example. Another would be Harold Weisberg's refutation of Gerald Posner's Case Closed, titled, as I recall, Case Open (or perhaps Case Not Closed). Also, because this list is circa 1987, books on the subject written since 1987 are not included.
Finally, the authors point out that the "appendix to the Report of the Assassinations Committee is crucial to study the case, but only 20 sets were printed for libraries and the public."
I encourage distribution of "Conspiracy Nation."
