This is a rereading of a book I read about 20 years ago. I was not as impressed with it this go round. But it makes the case that Oswald did it and did it alone.

Still, I found the number of people connected to the case who died unnatural deaths sort of startling. I think the author ignores things that don't fit his theory, but then again a lot of authors do that.

anyone interested in the assasination. There is a lot of detail about who did what. I was particularly interested in the circumstances around Officer J.D. Tippit's murder.

the detail on Oswald. It was interesting that he got the job at the School Book Depository so shortly before the assasination. It was about a month beforehand. At that time there were no plans for a motorcade to go by the building. It sort of fell into his lap. Plus, he was only 24 and pretty stupid. It makes sense that he wanted attention.

the fact that the author dismisses things he doesn't agree with rather summarily. I also found the voluminous footnotes to be rather a distraction this reading go-round.

like Oswald did it, but I have always felt like there was more to it than just an impulse thing.

should have explored the Morenshildt connection more thoroughly.

it provides a lot of detail and that is always good.
