Rush to Judgment: A Critique of the Warren Commission's Inquiry into the Murders of President John F. Kennedy, Officer J.D. Tippit and Lee Harvey Oswald is a 1966 book by American lawyer Mark Lane. It is about the assassination of U.S. President John F. Kennedy and takes issue with the conclusions of the Warren Commission, suggesting there was a conspiracy to assassinate John F. Kennedy. The book's introduction is by Hugh Trevor-Roper, Regius Professor of History at the University of Oxford.

Although it was preceded by a few self-published or small press books, Rush to Judgment was the first mass-marketed hardcover book to confront the findings of the Warren Commission.

Associated Press journalist Sid Moody accused Lane of selectively quoting witness to support his conclusions.

The title of the book was taken from Lord Chancellor Thomas Erskine's defense of James Hadfield who had attempted to assassinate King George III in 1800.

According to Alex Raskin of the Los Angeles Times, "Rush to Judgment opened the floodgate for [Kennedy assassination] conspiracy theories".

De nombreux films ont pris cette guerre pour sujet. Moins connus, il existe d'admirables documentaires qui, mieux que les longs-métrages de fiction, témoignent de l'exceptionnelle cruauté d'un affrontement qui causa la mort de 58 000 Américains, de plus de 3 millions de Vietnamiens. Emile de Antonio a réalisé au début de la guerre du Vietnam, le réalisateur s'est infiltré méthodiquement dans le tumulte des événements. Il a été le premier à tenter d'expliquer les raisons profondes de la guerre. Avec des méthodes d'archéologue.

For three years, the film follows four families in their search for the truth: Activist, young rebel soldier or simple citizen, either they or their relations were imprisoned in different parts of Morocco. Each person tries to "find out", discover a "reason", to be able to mourn. But forty years later, the state secret finally unveils the existence of another, more intimate secret, the family secret. They all feel the need to reconstruct history and recover their parents, taken from them twice over, once by their disappearance and another by the secret. Choosing between deeply set silences, lies and taboos within and outside the families, over forty years.

During a two-day period before and after the University of Alabama integration crisis, the film uses five camera crews to follow President John F. Kennedy, attorney general Robert F. Kennedy, Alabama governor George Wallace, deputy attorney general Nicholas Katzenbach and the students Vivian Malone and James Hood. As Wallace has promised to personally block the two black students from enrolling in the university, the JFK administration discusses the best way to react to it, without rousing the crowd or making Wallace a martyr for the segregationist cause.
