Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Good. 508,[4] pages. Index. Some wear and small creases to DJ edges. Gerald Ford was a member of the Warren Commission; John Stiles was then-Congressman Ford's special assistant throughout the Congressman's ten-month service on the Warren Commission. Gerald Rudolph Ford, Jr. (born Leslie Lynch King, Jr.) was the thirty-eighth President of the United States, serving from 1974 to 1977, and the fortieth Vice President of the United States serving from 1973 to 1974. He was the first person appointed to the vice presidency under the terms of the 25th Amendment, and became President upon Richard Nixon's resignation on August 9, 1974. Ford was the fifth U.S. President never to have been elected to that position, and the only one never to have won a national election at all. Before ascending to the vice-presidency, Ford served nearly 25 years as Representative from Michigan's 5th congressional district, eight of them as the Republican Minority Leader. At time of publication this was the only book by a member of the Warren Commission, describing not so much the well-known facts of that tragic event as the motives, the emotions, the human problems and the personal failures that ended in the death of the President. The book is his own account of the hearings themselves and of the reactions of the Commission's members to the dramatic and revealing statements of the witnesses. The spotlight focuses on such famous figures as the two Mrs. Oswalds but also on many other people who briefly emerged onto the stage of history - and who found themselves obliged to recount, in their own words, the progression of minor incidents that brought Lee Harvey Oswald to his final protest against a world that had rejected him. This book is an attempt to reveal the upbringing, the background and the career of the assassin himself, and the fascinating chain of small events, small tragedies, small revolts against authority, that characterized his life. Oswald, the rebel in search of a cause, emerges in these pages, perhaps for the first time, as a recognizable human being whose compulsive act became a national disaster.

First edition of the first book about the Kennedy assassination and Lee Harvey Oswald to be authored by a member of the Warren Commission, boldly signed by Ford. Octavo, original cloth. Association copy, inscribed by the author on the front free endpaper, "To Bob O'Connor with warmest personal regards and very best wishes. Gerald R. Ford." The recipient, Bob O'Connor was the mayor of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and a close personal friend of Ford. Fine in a near fine dust jacket. Jacket design by Carl Smith. Photograph on the front of jacket by James Murray. Housed in a custom half morocco chemise and clamshell box. An exceptional association. Just one week after the assassination of President Kennedy in Dallas, President Johnson appointed a commission, chaired by Chief Justice Earl Warren, to investigate the tragic events. Then Representative Fordâs seat on the panel put the Michigan Congressman in the national spotlight. In this volume, the first such book written by a member of the Commission, Ford and co-author John Stiles (Fordâs personal assistant during the Commissionâs work) reconstruct, in a novel-like format, the path that led Oswald to the Texas School Book Depository on November 22, 1963, from his sojourn in the Soviet Union to his frustrated defection to Cuba. Strikingly sympathetic to the closure sought by innumerable conspiracy theorists, the authors nevertheless discern in these events âno meaning beyond the will of the killer to pull the triggerââ"save the philosophical conclusion âthat meaningful personal relationships are still the most important elements in any society⦠We do not live alone, and neither a Lee Oswald nor anyone else can succeed in so doing.â.…
