This is an extensive and detailed look into the assassination of JFK, focusing on Lee Harvey Oswald. I'm no history buff, nor have I ever been one of those who is obsessed with the details of that fateful day in 1963. And obviously I can't answer the "where were you when" question (I may be getting old, but I'm not quite that old). But I have actually been to The Sixth Floor (a museum in the old Texas School Book Depository building in Dallas), and the assassination has always seemed mystery-shrouded, swirling with speculation and questions.
This book scratched whatever minor itch I may have had about JFK's assassination. I found it really comprehensive, logical and reasonable. I guess if it were in any way lopsided, or if it left out any important information, I wouldn't know; but it sure seemed to cover all aspects and left me certain of its merits. I would be curious to know whether any conspiracy theorists could actually successfully attack it (though not really curious enough to put any effort into finding out).
