And there's a great book on it called Best Evidence by David Lifton, and he was an accountant that was hired to go over the Warren Commission Report. He started finding all these inconsistencies and contradictions in the Warren Commission Report.

Why people recommend it

Best Evidence by David S. Lifton is a meticulous investigative true crime and history book that examines the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, arguing through extensive analysis of medical and autopsy records that the official narrative contains profound inconsistencies. Joe Rogan repeatedly recommended this title on The Joe Rogan Experience, describing it during conversations with guests like Charlie Sheen, Raanan Hershberg, Joey Diaz, and Kyle Kulinski as a terrifying, eye-opening account that fundamentally challenges the lone-gunman theory. Rogan noted that the author, originally hired as an accountant to review the Warren Commission report, uncovered so many discrepancies that it completely transformed his understanding of history and convinced him of a broader conspiracy. Jack Carr also endorsed the book on the podcast, highlighting it as one of the most insightful and impactful investigative works he had ever read regarding the subject. Throughout these episodes, the speakers emphasized how deeply unsettling the text is, noting that it forces readers to closely examine the autopsy and ballistic evidence to confront the dark possibility that high-level officials successfully covered up the true nature of the presidential assassination.
