Book Description
From the acclaimed author of JFK and Vietnam comes a book that uncovers the government's role in the Kennedy assassination more clearly than any previous inquiry. What was the extent of the CIA's involvement with Lee Harvey Oswald? Why was Oswald's file tampered with before the assassination of John F. Kennedy? And why did significant documents from that file mysteriously disappear? Oswald and the CIA answers these questions, not with theories, but with information from the primary sources themselves—ex-agents, officials, and secret records. To look at the Oswald file is to look at the most sensitive CIA operation of the Cold War. The story is as alarming as it is tragic; the lies and manipulations it reveals led directly to Kennedy's murder. Oswald and the CIA is a gripping journey to the darkest corners of the CIA.

Oswald Talked
Author: Ray La Fontaine
Publisher: Pelican Publishing
ISBN: 9781455609994
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 464
Book Description
Investigative journalists present explosive new evidence connecting the accused JFK assassin to the CIA—and to his own killer. Journalists Ray and Mary La Fontaine have uncovered significant new evidence in the Kennedy assassination—evidence that substantiates the existence of a conspiracy, and that suggests Lee Harvey Oswald was framed for the president’s murder. In Oswald Talked, they establish a crucial link between Oswald and Jack Ruby, the CIA, and other government agencies. Among the evidence uncovered here is a Department of Defense card showing that Oswald was employed by the US government after his discharge from the Marines; testimony by a man who altered photos of Oswald for the official investigation; and arrest records and names of the three enigmatic vagrants who have been at the heart of several conspiracy theories. Most significant of all, the La Fontaines speak with John Elrod, who was arrested the day of Kennedy’s assassination—and kept in a cell next to Oswald’s. His incarceration had been hidden by the FBI for decades. In Oswald Talked, they reveal what Elrod learned from Oswald himself that day.

Case Closed
Author: Gerald Posner
Publisher: Open Road Media
ISBN: 1480412309
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 385
Book Description
Pulitzer Prize Finalist: “By far the most lucid and compelling account . . . of what probably did happen in Dallas—and what almost certainly did not.” —The New York Times Book Review The Kennedy assassination has reverberated for five decades, with tales of secret plots, multiple killers, and government cabals often overshadowing the event itself. As Gerald Posner writes, “Fifty years after the assassination, the biggest casualty has been the truth.” In this first-ever digital edition of his classic work, updated with a special comment for the fiftieth anniversary, Posner lays to rest all of the convoluted conspiracy theories—concerning the mafia, a second shooter, and the CIA—that have obscured over the decades what really happened in Dealey Plaza on November 22, 1963. Drawing from official sources and dozens of interviews, and filled with powerful historical detail, Case Closed is a vivid and straightforward account that stands as one of the most authoritative books on the assassination of John F. Kennedy.

Publisher: Union Square & Co.
ISBN: 1454912693
Category : True Crime
Languages : en
Pages : 190
Book Description
What did Lee Harvey Oswald do in the 48 hours after he shot President John F. Kennedy? This riveting companion to the upcoming History Channel documentary follows Oswald in the immediate aftermath of the assassination, searching for the answers to the questions that have troubled America for a half century: Did he actually pull the trigger? Was he alone? And if so, why? Steven M. Gillon, Scholar-in-Residence at the History Channel, explores the possibility that Cuban intelligence officials may have encouraged Oswald to commit the crime and promised to help him escape. Gillon recreates in painstaking detail the long interrogation sessions and reveals that many of the police officers who witnessed the sessions were convinced that Oswald had received special training. He was simply too good at deflecting questions, too smart, too confident. With new information from recently declassified documents, and revealing photos and documents, these pages offer a refreshingly new and complicated portrait of the man who assassinated President John F. Kennedy.
