<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><br>Harold Weisberg's <i>Whitewash </i>was originally self-published in 1965, at a time when few publishing houses would consider a book challenging the Warren Report. Written in Harold's fiercely passionate yet scrupulously honest style, and relying on the government's own evidence and documentation, <i>Whitewash </i>destroys the Warren Commission's claims about Oswald and shows that the Commission knowingly engaged in a cover-up. <p/>Weisberg diligently researched the government's unpublished evidence and played a major role in forcing disclosures via the Freedom of Information Act. A watershed publication and one that established the author as one of the premier JFK assassination researchers, <i>Whitewash </i>(as well as the subsequent books in the Whitewash series) has become of the essential assassination publications, and nearly five decades later his work has lost none of its bite. <p/>Skyhorse Publishing, as well as our Arcade imprint, are proud to publish a broad range of books for readers interested in history--books about World War II, the Third Reich, Hitler and his henchmen, the JFK assassination, conspiracies, the American Civil War, the American Revolution, gladiators, Vikings, ancient Rome, medieval times, the old West, and much more. While not every title we publish becomes a <i>New York Times</i> bestseller or a national bestseller, we are committed to books on subjects that are sometimes overlooked and to authors whose work might not otherwise find a home.<br><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Harold Weisberg's <i>Whitewash </i>was originally self-published in 1965, at a time when few publishing houses would consider a book challenging the Warren Report.
