"The most succinct and convincing presentation of the known circumstantial evidence suggesting that there was a criminal conspiracy to assassinate President Kennedy that I have ever read" JOHN H. DAVIS, Author of: MAFIA KINGFISH: Carlos Marcello and The Assassination of President John F. Kennedy This is a book about one of the most infamous yet least known characters in history, Lee Harvey Oswald. Unlike most books revolving about the Kennedy Assassination, the author, leading trial lawyer James Duffy, using only official U.S. Government documents and reports, pieces together an unbelievable-yet-true scenario that differs substantially from what we have been led to believe about the accused assassin and the mobster who then assassinated him. Here is the chilling story of one of history's most bewildering characters, and the evidence seemingly linking him to remarkably diverse groups including: ? intelligence agents & underworld bosses, ? communists & anti-communists, patriots & spies, big shots & bimbos - a web of bizarre, indeed shocking, activities ranging from infiltration & subversion to assassination plots against leaders of several countries. Avoiding irresponsible, speculative theories, Duffy sticks to using the governments own "evidence" (much of which has been overlooked or ignored); presents the evidence & allows you to draw your own conclusions as to the questions · Who was Lee Harvey Oswald? · Why did jack Ruby shoot him? · Are these unrelated questions?" James Duffy has lectured and been interviewed throughout the United States and Great Britain as an expert on the mysterious and largely unknown background of Lee Harvey Oswald.

5.0 out of 5 stars
no fighting the facts,
By John Kline "JK" (San Diego) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lone Crazed Gunman? (Soft Cover) (Who was Lee Harvey Oswald, Why did Jack Ruby shoot him?, Are these unrelated questions?) (Paperback)
Duffy provides nothing but the facts, taken from nothing less than the governments own records and documents. The result is clear, Oswald was not alone in life, or in the set up of the murder.

Was Lee Harvey Oswald A Lone Crazed Gunman? -- Yes, I Believe He Was (And So Was Jack Ruby),
By David Von Pein (Mooresville, Indiana; USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lone Crazed Gunman? (Soft Cover) (Who was Lee Harvey Oswald, Why did Jack Ruby shoot him?, Are these unrelated questions?) (Paperback)
When 52-year-old Jacob L. "Sparky" Rubenstein (more commonly known as Jack Ruby) stepped out of a group of policemen and reporters in a Dallas Police Department basement to shoot Presidential assassin Lee Harvey Oswald on November 24th, 1963, it sparked a whole new wave of "It Was A Conspiracy" talk with respect to the John F. Kennedy murder (which Oswald was charged with committing two days before he died at Ruby's hand).
But when weighing all the evidence surrounding the actions of Jack Ruby during that November 1963 weekend when President Kennedy was assassinated, a clear pattern emerges -- and it doesn't add up to "conspiracy". Many conspiracy believers endorse the theory that has Ruby "rubbing out" Oswald at the behest of organized crime figures. But would a known blabbermouth like Jack Ruby have really been a wise choice for Oswald's killing (which was carried out on Live television all around the United States)? Who, then, is going to "rub out" the person who just eliminated LHO? Plus, there's the "timing" factor to consider when talking about any possible pre-arranged "hit" on Lee Oswald in the DPD basement. If Ruby woke up on Sunday morning with the intent of killing Oswald at 10:00 AM (which is a time that was later pushed back by the police), would Ruby have really NOT been in "position" to do the deed until approx. 11:20 AM (CST) that Sunday? (Could he have possibly known about the delays in transferring Oswald to the County Jail? Highly doubtful he could have known.) Also -- Would Ruby have really taken his dog with him to a pre-planned murder? (One of his pooches was found in his car after the murder of Oswald.) And would he have left that dog in his car under such circumstances? By all accounts he loved that dog greatly, even referring to "Sheba" as his "wife". He would never have taken that dog with him downtown if it was in Ruby's mind to kill Oswald at the police station that morning. And would Ruby have really taken the time to stop at the nearby Western Union office and send a $25 money order to one of his strippers (who worked at one of his Dallas nightclubs) just a mere four minutes before casually strolling into the DPD basement to encounter Lee Oswald? How can CTers possibly reconcile that pesky item? In my opinion, every single thing about Lee Oswald's murder by Jack Ruby spells a "last-minute" and "spur-of-the-moment" act of violence. And it also spells "deeply personal" on Ruby's part. It was known that Ruby was distraught and in tears much of that November weekend. The death of JFK hit him hard. And it's certainly true that the press was painting just one man as the killer of the President -- Lee Oswald. (And given the trail of evidence that the police had to follow, there was no other possible rational and reasonable conclusion to reach other than that.) So Ruby was probably thinking like most of America on that Sunday morning -- he thought this guy Oswald killed his beloved President. It's, therefore, fairly logical to assume that Ruby hated Oswald's guts that weekend. .... ....And Ruby was known to almost always carry a gun on him. ....And Ruby was friendly with the DPD. ....And Ruby liked to be "where the action is". ....And Ruby could practically come and go at his own leisure within the DPD Headquarters and Precincts. ....And Ruby always dressed rather conservatively (one policeman later stated: "I never saw Jack when he didn't have on a black suit"), meaning he could literally "blend in" with other similarly-dressed plainclothes policemen and reporters in the DPD basement that Sunday morning. ....And at 11:21 AM on 11/24/63, Jack fired one shot from his revolver into the gut of Lee Harvey Oswald, resulting in Oswald's death 106 minutes later. All of this adds up to the actions of a second "Lone Nut" during that dark weekend back in 1963.
