    About this audiobook

    Steve Gillon follows Lee Harvey Oswald for the 48 hours after the Kennedy assassination in search of answers to the question that has been troubling America for the past five decades: Why did he shoot JFK? The Warren Commission speculated that Oswald was simply a deranged sociopath. But recently declassified materials raise new troubling questions. Where was Oswald going when he fled the School Book Depository Building on Friday afternoon? Is it possible that Cuban intelligence officials may have encouraged Oswald to commit the crime and promised to help him escape? This audiobook goes back to the Dallas Municipal Building and recreates the interrogation sessions. What emerges from this expose is refreshingly new, and more complicated, portrait of the man who assassinated President John F. Kennedy.

      Lone nut theory. Nothing to see here. Move along. ?
    • 3/5
      Oh, no...not another book on the Kennedy assassination? Yep! and, this one covers the period of time between Oswald's shooting and his shooting death by Jack Ruby. It was written entirely by the author's research and he cites written and oral references and draws appropriate conclusions. It also provides insight into a short period of history and illuminates facts not previously known. I liked the read/listen and will look for more of Gillon's books.
    • 3/5
      Those who have read the Warren Report or any of the hundreds, perhaps thousands, of books on the Kennedy assassination will find little new here. The book is intended as a sort of timeline that chronicles what happened to Oswald from the day before the shooting until he was shot by Jack Ruby. There are some excellent pictures in this volume, but if you are looking for new revelations about why Oswald did what he did, it's probably better to look elsewhere. Readers should note that this is a sort of companion book to a History Channel program by the same title. As such it's just fine. But a deep or groundbreaking analysis it is not. Perhaps, though, that the author's intent was simply to help someone new to the story understand what happened in those few hours and perhaps understand why so many peculiar things pepper this slice of history - peculiar things that have helped create a cottage industry of conspiracy theories and pundits.
