Description
"The 2003 edition of The Man Who Knew Too Much continues a painstaking investigation that now spans three decades as it closes the life story of the man utilized by both the CIA and KGB to keep tabs on his comrade-in-arms Lee Harvey Oswald. Ultimately assigned by the Soviets to stop the assassination plot - if necessary, by killing Oswald - Nagell instead warned the CIA and FBI of the impending disaster and in September 1963, two months before Dallas, intentionally got himself arrested by show more discharging a gun, to harmless effect, inside a Texas bank." "Pursuing Nagell's story with a decade's worth of new material, Dick Russell returns to the murky world of international intelligence from the White House to Red Square. He follows leads to Cuban exiles, Texan oilmen, the Pentagon, organized crime, and right-wing extremists. He reviews the public record; he dissects its documents. He exposes lies that have been officially perpetrated for forty years. He revises America's historical truth."--Jacket. show lessTags

One of the very best books on the Kennedy assassination. I imagine that if you don't havea a pretty good background in this genre, the book may be difficult to get through---because I know that even if you do know the literature, it's not easy going. But Dick Russell is a fine writer, and he goes the extra mile to make the material as accessible as possible.
