Publisher's Synopsis
Was the "official" verdict that Lee Harvey Oswald was the Lone Crazed Gunman announced by highly-placed government officials within days of the JFK assassination - long before the Warren Commission had held its first meeting?
Did official U.S. Government investigations document unequivocal proof that -prior to Dallas- there was at least one earlier plot to assassinate JFK from a high building during one of his habitual open motorcade rides; and that the plans included a subsequent rub-out of the assassin?
Did the likes of mob bosses like Carlos Marcello and Santos Trafficante, labor boss Jimmy Hoffa and certain elements of the anti-Castro Cuban movement have a number of common interests, one of which was to assassinate President Kennedy?
Did life-long mobster Jack Ruby shoot Oswald out of patriotism and sorrow for Jackie as he claimed, or was that an excuse spoon-fed to him by his lawyer?
Was Oswald the dull-witted, crazed loner he has been painted to be, or did he have an IQ that placed him in the upper range of bright normal intelligence and documented connections to a number of very interesting people? Are there any documented relationships of Oswald with actual pro-Castro or pro-Communist people; or, to the contrary, did Oswald have unequivocally documented ties to anti-Castro Cubans and organized crime figures, both groups of which had working relationships with U.S. Intelligence operatives?
Unlike most books revolving about the Kennedy Assassination, the author, leading trial lawyer James Duffy, using only official U.S. Government documents and reports, pieces together an unbelievable-yet-true scenario that differs substantially from what we have been led to believe about the accused assassin and the mobster who then assassinated him.
Praise for Duffy's landmark analysis* of Lee Harvey Oswald:
"A highly credible, convincing account that sheds valuable light on the plot to assassinate President Kennedy" DAVID E. SCHEIM, Author of: CONTRACT ON AMERICA: The Mafia Murder of President John F. Kennedy
"The most succinct and convincing presentation of the known circumstantial evidence suggesting that there was a criminal conspiracy to assassinate President Kennedy that I have ever read" JOHN H. DAVIS, Author of: MAFIA KINGFISH: Carlos Marcello and The Assassination of President John F. Kennedy
"In a thought provoking reevaluation of Oswald, Duffy uses his experience as a respected trial lawyer to piece together the reams of information for his penetrating analysis ..." Former U.S. Senator Alphonse D'Amato
