John F. Kennedy's fascination with death--particularly his own--and
Lee Harvey Oswald's love of violence and desire for fame made November
22, 1963 practically inevitable.
With new details from the very latest documents declassified by the
CIA and FBI!
The so-called "crime of the century"--the assassination of President
John F. Kennedy--was almost preordained to happen. Like all presidents
from decades before him, JFK played it loose with security--open cars,
Secret Service agents at a distance, and a desire to be seen. Yet
conspiracy buffs are certain the security setup on November 22, 1963 was
unusual and suspicious. It wasn't.
And what of Lee Harvey Oswald, the drifter, the vicious wife-beating,
fame-seeking narcissist? Everything in his background--dating back to
his violent, disturbing grade school years, including his stated desire
to murder President Dwight Eisenhower--defines the real Lee Oswald. The
Oswald that conspiracists rarely talk about--the Oswald who was perched
in the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository as JFK drove
by--was headed for this moment of infamy years before he pulled the
trigger.
In Countdown to Dallas, author Paul Brandus tracks the backgrounds of
both Kennedy and Oswald, the very different era in which they lived, and
the incredible string of circumstances that brought them together for a
few fateful moments in Dallas. He reveals:
- There was indeed a second person on the 6th floor of the Texas
School Book Depository in the minutes prior to the
assassination--but it's not what you think.
