Warren Commission (11 of 26): Hearings Vol. XI (of 15)

This is Volume XI of the fifteen-volume transcript of the Warren Commission hearings, the definitive government investigation into the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. This installment presents the testimony of John Edward Pic, Lee Harvey Oswald's half-brother, offering rare personal testimony about Oswald's childhood, family life, and the circumstances that shaped him. The Warren Commission, established by Executive Order 11130 in the wake of the national trauma of November 22, 1963, convened to establish the facts and resolve the unanswered questions that gripped the nation. These hearings represent the most extensive documentary record of a presidential assassination in American history. For serious students of this pivotal moment, the value lies not in narrative but in raw testimony: the voices of those who knew Oswald, the details that informed the Commission's investigation, and the weight of historical evidence preserved in its original form.
