Eight years ago, Joan Mellen set out to write a biography of Jim Garrison, the onetime embattled New Orleans district attorney who remains the only public official to have brought someone to trial in connection with the assassination of John F. Kennedy. She quickly realized that the tale of Garrison must focus on his unflagging investigation of the JFK murder, an inquest that dominated his political and personal life after 1963. So Mellen launched her own inquiry into Kennedy’s death, drawing on thousands of newly declassified documents and speaking to more than 1,200 witnesses and political and intelligence figures. In her resulting book, A Farewell to Justice, published Nov. 16, nearly 42 years after JFK’s death, Mellen is confident that she has unraveled the mystery of his murder. “This book cracks the case and puts the issue to rest,” said Mellen, an English and creative writing professor at Temple. “No more can people wonder, did the Mafia do it, did Castro do it, did the KGB do it, did the intelligence agencies do it? This book proves that the CIA was behind the assassination and the resulting cover-up.” Mellen’s book reveals a number of startling details about the assassination
plot, such as Lee Harvey Oswald’s ties to the FBI, the CIA and U.S. Customs. She also uncovers
