(Rush to Judgment is Mark Lane’s seminal work on the assas...)
Rush to Judgment is Mark Lane’s seminal work on the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. This groundbreaking number one bestseller opened the eyes of the people of the United States to the possibility that their government was involved in a cover-up of monumental proportions. In his mesmerizing book Lane explores the Warren Report’s conclusion that Lee Harvey Oswald was the lone assassin despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary. Lane’s exhaustive investigation provides a roadmap to the body of evidence about the assassination. By interviewing witnesses throughout the country, comparing each of the Report’s conclusions with its own corresponding evidence, and searching through the 26 volumes of evidence the President’s Commission collected and thousands of documents found only in the National Archive in Washington, DC., Lane truthfully investigates the assassination. Meticulously detailed, with over 4,000 citations, yet immensely compelling, Rush to Judgment set forth cataclysmic ripples through the fabric of our nation. This work, still unparalleled after nearly 50 years and scores of other explorations, is where it all began. No serious study of this event is complete without it.

(Nearly one thousand members of the Peoples Temple settlem...)
Nearly one thousand members of the Peoples Temple settlement in Jonestown, Guyana, died in a massacre in November 1978. The deaths followed the killing of United States Congressman Leo Ryan and other Temple members as they attempted to leave the compound. Those killings, along with the massacre, were ordered by the cult’s charismatic leader Jim Jones. Mark Lane had accompanied Congressman Ryan into Jonestown on a fact-finding mission and was captured and held hostage during the massacre. “I will tell the world the truth about what happened here.” With those words, Mark Lane’s guards allowed him to escape from his makeshift prison from what would soon become one of the most tragic events in 20th century America. Lane found himself fleeing for his life through the impenetrable darkness of the Guyanian rainforest as the sounds of the Jonestown massacre echoed behind him. In The Strongest Poison, Lane tells why he was there, what happened in the days leading up to the massacre, and relates the stories of the nearly 1,000 men and women who put their faith in Jim Jones and his jungle paradise, and died there. In this riveting tale of hope and renewal, despair and devastation, Lane explores the reasons behind the Peoples Temple’s journey to Guyana, of the joyous celebrations and the hardships of the pioneering community. He also explores the reasons for Congressman Ryan’s investigation into the community, exposing the decisions made by representatives of the United States government that pushed the increasingly irrational Jones to his breaking point.

( The assassination of President Kennedy in 1963 continue...)
The assassination of President Kennedy in 1963 continues to be shrouded in mystery and controversy. In Plausible Denial, Mark Lane, the author of Rush to Judgment, the provocative and bestselling critique of the Warren Commission, reveals startling evidence about the CIA’s involvement in a plot to murder the president. In 1978, when a small magazine ran a story by CIA renegade Victor Marchetti linking ex-CIA operative and convicted Watergate burglar E. Howard Hunt to the assassination, Hunt sued for defamation. Lane signed on as defense counsel for the publication, and set out to prove the truth of the allegations against Hunt and the CIA. Lane’s investigation uncovered a web of conspiracy that involved anti-Castro Cubans, Watergate conspirators, and public officials at the highest levels of the intelligence community. The forewoman of the jury, Leslie Armstrong, stated that Mr. Lane was asking us to do something very difficult. He was asking us to believe that John Kennedy had been killed by our own government. Yet when we examined the evidence, we were compelled to conclude that the CIA had indeed killed President Kennedy.” Meticulously documented and compellingly written, this book makes public the contents of this curiously unpublicized trial, the only jury verdict directly related to the theory that the CIA was involved in the assassination.

On April 4, 1968, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., was shot and killed in Memphis, Tennessee. Although James Earl Ray was arrested and charged with the crime in a prearranged and rehearsed hearing conducted without cross-examination or challenge by defense, he later insisted he was a pawn in a far-reaching conspiracy.

("Conversations with Americans" is possibly Mark Lane’s mo...)
"Conversations with Americans" is possibly Mark Lane’s most controversial work. Lane investigates the atrocities of the Vietnam War committed with alarming frequency by American troops, of a systematic dehumanization of the enemy that eventually included many of the very population they were sent to save from communism. As Lane says in his introductions, “If you convince your soldiers that the enemy is less than human, comparable to baggage at best, a child assassin at worst, and then inform them that their mission is to score high in the body-count exercise, you cannot feign surprise when you discover what the war has become.” Lane began his investigation by interviewing American GIs who fed to Europe after refusing to serve in Vietnam. He then set out to interview American soldiers still on active duty, or who had been honorably discharged about the atrocities they had witnessed or been a part of in Vietnam. To his surprise he was able to find numerous individuals who told him disturbing stories of their time in Vietnam. Most were compelled out of a sense of duty to inform their countrymen of the horrors of war. In interviews with 32 American GIs, "Conversations with Americans" tells the story of the Vietnam war from the viewpoint of soldiers in the field, in their own words. It is disturbing and frightening and courageous. This is a work born out of concern for a generation sent to fight a brutal war with barely discernible rules, in military organizations that deliberately eroded the morality of American soldiers and then sent them home to their parents, wives and children. Lane set out to bring the stories to the American public only to be stymied by his own publishing company which withdrew the book from publication, effectively banning it from the American public. Now, for the first time in 40 years, the words of these young soldiers can be heard again.
