No More Silence is the first oral history of the assassination of President
John F. Kennedy, from eyewitness accounts through the police reactions,
investigations, and aftermath. Based on in-depth interviews conducted in
Dallas, it features narratives of forty-nine key eyewitnesses, police officers,
deputy sheriffs, and government officials. Here—in many cases for the first
time—participants are allowed to speak for themselves without interpretation,
editing, or rewording to fit some preconceived speculation. Unlike the
testimony given in the Warren Commission volumes, the contributors
openly state their opinions regarding conspiracy and cover-ups.
Of particular interest are the fascinating stories from the Dallas Police
Department—few of the policemen have come forward with their stories until
now. No More Silence humanizes those involved in the events in Dallas in
1963 and includes photographs of the participants around the time of the
assassination and as they appear today.
Was there a conspiracy in the assassination of President Kennedy? No
More Silence gives readers the best perspective yet on the subject, allowing
them to sift through the evidence and draw their own conclusions.

What people are saying about this book
Sneed accomplishes what has never been done before, which is to tell the
story of the four days from the Dallas point of view....Sneed's contribution
[is] a brilliant one....He presents every notable event as if through a
prism, with each interviewee corroborating the basic facts but never exactly
matching the other accounts, adding a detail here and there at times even
contradicting earlier ones. The result is a pageturner, not only because the
story is dramatic but because the reader becomes eager to see how the next
person saw it."—Max Holland, The Nation
"Sneed has done an outstanding job....[His] earnest quest for accuracy and
fairness permeates the book....The author scored a major coup in getting
Dallas law enforcement officials to talk openly about the tradegy."—Legacies
