Product Description
Twenty years have passed since Presiden john F Kennedy was shot in Dallas, and although both the Warren Commission and the House Assassinations Committee concluded that Lee harvey Oswald was his assassin, neither investigation could explain why he did it. By presenting a careful, thoroughly researched examination of Oswald's life, character, and ambition, this is the first book to challenge conspiracy theories and revela how Oswald was politically motivated to assassinate the President. As an adolescent, Oswald was diagnosed as emotionally disturbed but sane and intelligent. He became a Marxist when he was sixteen and once threatened to kill President Eisenhower for exploiting the working class. In 1959, he defected to the Soviet Union and, three years later, returned to the United States, where he attempted to assassinate a right-wing leader. By September 1963, Oswald was a pro-Castro activist trying to infiltrate anti-Castro organizations as an agen provocateur and suggesting that Kennedy be killed. No previous explanation has encompassed all this material. Written over a span of thirteen years, this book is provocative and controversial, a groundbreaking investigation of the most vital yet neglected factor in the mystery of Kennedy's assassination - the assassin himself.
