Description
"A biography of Lee Harvey Oswald, the alleged assassin of President John F. Kennedy. This book succeeds in finally breaking the legend created for Oswald. It begins by revealing an incredible series of contacts between rival intelligence officers concerning the JFK assassination and culminates in a series of events that turn the CIA inside out. Investigative author Edward Jay Epstein managed to obtain Oswald's address book and interview more than 150 people who knew him." -- Barnes & NobleTags

Edward Jay Epstein is obviously a well-connected guy; his access to James Angleton alone makes what he has written fascinating. I have no idea if we can trust what he writes, and with virtually every sentence of his that I read, I ask myself, "Why is he telling us this? What is he trying to get us to think?" That's not a problem---if you're willing to try to figure that out.
