This review is from: Flashback: The Untold Story of Lee Harvey Oswald (Paperback)

I have read the book Flashback: The Untold Story of Lee Harvey Oswald, by Ron Lewis. I have read other comments on the book and most of them were favorable.

It is clear that a warren Commision suporter would not like this book. However, the author asks the readers to judge for themselves whether they wish to believe Mr. Lewis or not.

It is noteworthy to mention that Ron Lewis served as technical adviser to Oliver Stone for his movie "JFK." Also Oliver Stone gives his endorsement on the cover of Flashback: In my mind, this gives the book authentisity and credibility. Because I know Mr. Lewis personally, I choose to believe his story over those who contridict the conspiracy aspect of the assassination aftermath.

The book is probably the most indepth book into the life of Lee Harvey Oswald as any I have ever read. The book still remains available even though it was published in 1993.

This review is from: Flashback: The Untold Story of Lee Harvey Oswald (Paperback)

I believe a few Warren Commission supporters might actually approve of this book, insofar as it places Lee Harvey Oswald in the center of the cyclone in a plot to assassinate JFK. Ron Lewis, the secretive friend of Oswald in New Orleans in the summer of 1963, portrays Oswald as somebody who became obsessed with political assassinations, and who personally confessed to taking a pot-shot at General Walker. This makes Ron Lewis the second person in history to whom Oswald made that confession (the first being his own wife, Marina Oswald). As Ron Lewis portrays him, Oswald was quiet as a mouse in most company, but he was a blabbermouth when he felt he was in charge. Oswald allegedly told Ron Lewis that he confessed to former FBI agent Guy Banister that he was the shooter who attacked General Walker's house, and that was a huge mistake. Banister and Walker were good friends. The writing in this book is authentic because it's so street-level -- this is not a slick publication. Oliver Stone found Ron Lewis' story convincing, and so do I.

I had the good fortune to meet and interview Ron Lewis during the ASK conference in Dallas 1994. I found Ron Lewis to be very direct and honest. His story is worth reading. Ron has a document that could prove he was there in 1963, maybe he will print it in his next book. Bye John
