Description

Reimagining the events and people surrounding the assassination of President John F Kennedy, this title concentrates on the lives of Lee Harvey Oswald, some rogue former spooks unhappy with Kennedy's presidency, and Nicholas Branch, a CIA archivist, trying to make sense of or draw inferences from the mass of information after the assassination.
