his
popular and oft-cited review of literature is a reprint of an
Autumn 1972
Wisconsin Magazine of History article. History professor
Wrone, who has since moderated his viewpoint, is demeaning, for often trivial
reasons, of works supportive of the Warren Commission. This singular view
from the academic left was ironically the norm in American universities
at the time, fueled somewhat by cynicism over McGovern’s failure to
spark (Watergate had yet to surface). Wrone was not above demonizing:
Lattimer
repeatedly referred to as a “urologist”;
The
Death of a President “a commercial point of view.” Dismissive
of books by
Ford,
Fox,
Hartogs and
Sparrow. Prefers work
of
Cutler over
Thompson.
Despite tone, or because of it, this volume has developed a large following.
Wrone co-authored 1980 444-page

Bibliography, 1963-1979 and wrote 2003
