Warning: I looked up the actual number of JFK assassination witnesses and my brain short-circuited

Found a source claiming over 500 people gave statements to the Warren Commission, which is way more than the handful of 'key witnesses' you always hear about. Anyone know a good book that actually breaks down all the different testimonies?

What book did you find that covers all that testimony?

It's a tough search for a single book that pulls it all together. A lot of them focus on specific cases or angles. You might have to piece it together from a few different sources.

Yeah, tell me about it. I spent like two weeks trying to find one book and ended up with a stack of three that only kinda cover it.

Honestly, I had the same problem with a book on the history of forensic science. I finally found that "The Poisoner's Handbook" by Deborah Blum helped a ton with the early 20th century stuff, and then I grabbed "The Forensic Casebook" by N.E. Genge for the basics on how they process evidence. It wasn't one perfect book, but together they covered way more than I expected. Hope that helps you narrow down what you actually need.
