Kennedy's murder." "A distinctive compilation of facts and findings that reveal the inner workings of a malicious cabal that succeeded in murdering a duly elected president of the United States." "A Farewell to Justice is a fascinating and provocative book featuring one of the most unusual and compelling figures in the history of American jurisprudence. And though the book is massive, carefully researched, and intellectually persuasive, it also reads with the engaging particularity and narrative drive of an epic, tragic novel." ~ Robert Owen Butler. "There aren't enough people like Joan Mellen in the world. Like the subject of her book, Joan has toiled away, driven by nothing more than her own passion for the truth, and emerged with the book you hold in your hands~a mammoth work that, I believe, will be the definitive biography of Jim Garrison." ~Oliver Stone.

Joan Mellen is a professor of English and creative writing at Temple University in Philadelphia. She is the author of twenty-four books, ranging from film criticism to fiction, sports, true crime, Latin American studies and biography. Her early work was about the cinema. Her "Women and Their Sexuality in the New Film" published in 1974, was a landmark work in feminist studies. Larry McMurtry pronounced it "brilliant" in his "Washington Post" review. Her study of the image of women in film was followed by the companion study, "Big Bad Wolves: Masculinity in the American Cinema." Her book about "The Battle of Algiers," written in 1972, has been quoted widely in connection with the events of 9/11. In 1972, she was awarded a prize by the Mainichi Shimbun newspaper organization in Japan. This led her to write five books about Japan, including "The Waves at Genji's Door: Japan through Its Cinema," 1976. Her 1981 novel, "Natural Tendencies," is set in Japan. More recently, she has written two books about Japanese film for the British Film Institute, "Seven Samurai" (2002) and "In the Realm of the Senses" (2004). She is also a biographer. Both "Kay Boyle: Author of Herself" (1994) and "Hellman and Hammett" (1996) were "New York Times" Notable Books of the year. "Hellman and Hammett" was also a finalist for the "Los Angeles Times" book prize. Working with thousands of previously unreleased documents and drawing on more than one thousand interviews, with many witnesses speaking out for the first time, Joan Mellen revisits the investigation of New Orleans district attorney Jim Garrison, the only public official to have indicted, in 1969, a suspect in President John F. Kennedy's murder. Garrison began by exposing the contradictions in the Warren Report, which concluded that Lee Harvey Oswald was an unstable pro-Castro Marxist who acted alone in killing Kennedy. A Farewell to Justice reveals that Oswald, no Marxist, was in fact working with both the FBI and the CIA, as well as with U.S. Customs, and that the attempts to sabotage Garrison's investigation reached the highest levels of the U.S. government. Garrison interviewed various individuals involved in the assassination, ranging from Clay Shaw and CIA contract employee David Ferrie to a Marine cohort of Oswald named Kerry Thornley, who at the very least was a Defense Intelligence Agency asset. Garrison's suspects included CIA-sponsored soldiers of fortune enlisted in assassination attempts against Fidel Castro, an anti-Castro Cuban asset, and a young runner for the conspirators, interviewed here for the first time by the author. Building upon Garrison's effort, Mellen uncovers decisive new evidence and clearly establishes the intelligence agencies' roles in both a president's assassination and its cover-up, set in motion well before the actual events of November 22, 1963. First Edition [Stated], First Printing [Stated].
