From the Report's original 1964 Introduction:

"President Lyndon B. Johnson, by Executive Order No. 11130 dated November 29, 1963, created this Commission to investigate the assassination on November 22, 1963, of John Fitzgerald Kennedy, the 35th President of the United States. The President directed the Commission to evaluate all the facts and circumstances surrounding the assassination and the subsequent killing of the alleged assassin and to report its findings and conclusions to him.

"The subject of the Commission's inquiry was a chain of events which saddened and shocked the people of the United States and of the world. The assassination of President Kennedy and the simultaneous wounding of John B. Connally, Jr., Governor of Texas, had been followed within an hour by the slaying of Patrolman J. D. Tippit of the Dallas Police Department. In the United States and abroad, these events evoked universal demands for an explanation....

"With this report the Commission is submitting the complete testimony of all the witnesses who appeared before the Commission or gave sworn depositions or affidavits, the accompanying documentary exhibits, and other investigative materials which are relied upon in this report."

    5.0 out of 5 stars Still Solid
    Reviewed in the United States on January 14, 2012

    I was in the sixth grade when JFK was assassinated and being a kid, all I knew was what was in the newspapers. As I got older I subscribed to all sorts of conspiracies of 11/22/63. In 1988 I visited Dealey Plaza in Dallas and realized what a relativly small area it covers, much smaller than what you can tell through pictures. Accordingly, I began to shy away from conspiracy theorists. I read the WC a few years ago and then bought this one for my Kindle Fire. To me it still is solid as the day it was presented to President Lyndon Johnson and the nation in 1964. If every one showed up in Dallas that day that all the conspiracy buffs say, there would be more killers than spectators. This nation wants to believe there is a conspiracy behind every corner on everything. This report, while a little imperfect still holds water. Read it and re-read it and you may see it the way I do. Maybe. I highly recommend this to EVERYONE interested in that dark day. But read it. Don't take others word for it. Read and decide for yourself.

    4.0 out of 5 stars One of the Greatest Frauds of the Twentieth Century

    This redaction of the multi-volume Warren Commission Report should be read, but read in context of how it was created. Go to Mark Lane's "Rush to Judgement" and you will see the many, many, many holes in the WCR. It is laughable. As Lane says, "The WCR is believable only if you do not read it." One is conflicted at to whether this, or Charles DeGaulle's claim that HE "liberated Paris," is the greater fraud of the twentieth century.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Formating makes it a challenge to read, but is worth the price
    Reviewed in the United States on June 9, 2011
    Verified Purchase
    This e-book is not formatted for the Kindle which makes it a little difficult to read. There are many footnotes (numbers) that frequently run into other numbers in the document that is very confusing when first starting the book. However, one does get used to it after a few chapters. Also, there are many punctuation errors throughout the book which adds to the confusion, such as periods occurring almost anywhere for no reason at all. Additionally, there are no photos included. Having said all this, however, the book is still worth the price for those wanting to read the Warren Commission Report. The reader can still get the gist of the report once the formatting errors become second nature. It would be nice to have the photos, but for any avid JFK assassination "buff", we've seen them before somewhere else.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Second best book on the JFK Assassination.
    Reviewed in the United States on December 9, 2013
    Verified Purchase
    It has more information concerning the events surrounding the assassination of JFK than any other book. The only thing they got wrong was the sequence of Oswald's shots. They did not realize that the first shot hit behind the Presidents car and fragmented throwing some metal fragments onto the top of the Presidents head. The book Mortal error is the definitive book on the subject and corrects the errors in the Warren Commission.

    1.0 out of 5 stars TIME TO DISPENSE WITH THIS REPORT
    Reviewed in the United States on May 14, 2014
    It has been suggested that this report has more information than any other book on the JFK assassination. I don't think so. Even three members of the commission and LBJ later rejected the report.

    Here's the tip of the iceberg:

    [1]Why did Oswald test negative for firing a rifle on the day he was arrested?

    [2] Why did Dallas Police Chief Jessie Curry say that no one has ever placed Oswald on the 6th Floor of the Depository with a rifle in his hands?

    [3] JD Tippit was killed by an automatic weapon and the undisputed facts are that Oswald didn't own or possess one.

    [4] The three policemen who found a rifle on the 6th Floor of the Depository said that it was a German Mauser; one of these men--Officer Weitzman--executed a contemporaneous sworn affidavit to this effect.

    [5]The majority of witnesses in Dealey Plaza said the shots came from the Grassy Knoll and contemporaneous new reports stated this too.

    [6] If Kennedy died from shots fired by Oswald from behind the limo why did 21 of 22 medical professionals at the Dallas Parkland Hospital say that Kennedy had two entry shots in the front?

    Four million+ documents released under the JFK Records Act of 1994 that vaporize the Warren Report. Whatever the Cold War rational was for adopting Warren Commission Groupthink has passed. The Report is not credible. The Report is not believeable.

    While I know this only cost 99 cents, it is almost unreadable because of poor formatting. Some lines are missing spaces between words and pages are laid out poorly.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Warren Report of Kennedy Assination
    Reviewed in the United States on April 18, 2012
    Verified Purchase
    This repor was interesting but left out incidents. My nephew was one of the motorcycle cops assigned to ride abreast and next to the presidential car.....he was on the right side next to JFK......Earl Warren's report named every person in that motorcade and interviewed them but he did not mention my nephew Douglas Jackson and the other cop abreast of him . This is strange....also when they arrived to Parkland Hospital, D. Jackson was one of the men that lifted JFK out of the car and placed him on stretcher.The presidents blood spilled onto Jackson's uniform and the Dallas Police Department took the uniform . Otherwise I'm sure the report was thorough and the Kindle copy was interesting.
