“Harold Weisberg had an extraordinary memory and could quote verbatim from Warren Commission volumes, documents on the Kennedy assassination he secured through FOIA suits, and his vast reading on the assassination and related subjects. In Waketh the Watchman?, Weisberg distilled it all into a plausible description of the forces that coalesced to precipitate the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.”—Clayton Ogilvie, responsible for the Harold Weisberg Archive at Hood College“Waketh the Watchman? forces a reckoning with the unresolved questions at the heart of the Kennedy assassination. Whether or not one accepts all of Harold Weisberg’s conclusions, his place in the front ranks of American investigative journalists is secure.”—Patrick Maney, professor emeritus of history at Boston College and author of Bill Clinton: New Gilded Age President“An excellent presentation of the largely obscured military actors during JFK’s tenure and his assassination and its investigation. An indispensable volume for understanding a critical period of our history.”—David R. Wrone, professor emeritus of history at the University of Wisconsin–Stevens Point and author of The Zapruder Film: Reframing JFK’s Assassination“Harold Weisberg was preeminent among the early researchers probing to illuminate the real truth behind the assassination of President Kennedy. This book is Weisberg's opus, a brilliant and painstaking summation of all that he'd gathered over the years and where it led—to a military coup d'état from which the nation has never recovered.”—Dick Russell, author of The Man Who Knew Too Much
