I fully enjoy the JFK conspiracies and this was a take I never considered。 I enjoyed experiencing this story from one man's lived experience。 I fully enjoy the JFK conspiracies and this was a take I never considered。 I enjoyed experiencing this story from one man's lived experience。 。。。more

A very intense and in-depth look into the lives of Lee Harvey Oswald and his wife Marina by someone who knew them。 While the information may not be shocking， it definitely is disturbing。 This book could possibly put to bed the conspiracy theories。 Perfect for anyone interested in criminal minds and/or American history。

I really enjoyed this book！ I was lucky enough to receive this book as a Goodreads Giveaway。 I thought that it told history in a unique and exciting way。 The facts weren't just listed out for the readers but put into a beautiful story that continuously held my attention。 It was interesting to see the Oswalds through an account of someone that was close to them。 I can't imagine what it would be like to be a large part of an assassin's life。 （spoilers。。。 I guess even though it is history） I liked I really enjoyed this book！ I was lucky enough to receive this book as a Goodreads Giveaway。 I thought that it told history in a unique and exciting way。 The facts weren't just listed out for the readers but put into a beautiful story that continuously held my attention。 It was interesting to see the Oswalds through an account of someone that was close to them。 I can't imagine what it would be like to be a large part of an assassin's life。 （spoilers。。。 I guess even though it is history） I liked hearing Paul and Pete's interactions with the couple， how they gave information to the secret service， and how Pete translated for Mariana after the death of her husband Lee。 Paul Gregory created a great story that gave both insights into Lee and Marina， as well as Lee's mother that seemed to be absolutely crazy！ I loved that she tried to convince the commission that Lee was a spy for the United States。 FAV PART - I loved when they talk about Pete translating for Mariana and how she trusted the Gregory family。 I also thought it was beautiful how Mariana was able to buy a house for her and her children from the money that random Americans gave her as a sympathy gift。 At the end of the book， Paul Gregory discussed how he sent a version of this book to Mariana， so she could approve of what he wrote。 Her new husband said not to come to visit her， so Gregory just sent her the book and the letter。 I wonder if she read it and what she would think of this account （end spoilers）。 I can tell this was a good historical book because I was constantly interrupting my mom to tell her what I learned for the contents of this book。 。。。more

Good read， plus photos。The author， and his family actually knew them， personally。 Oswald was a character， delusional about his own importance。 His wife， beautiful and timid， was abused by Oswald。 The Russian community， welcomed her and their daughter with open arms。 Her husband， not at all。To become a legend， he killed the President。 Oswald thought this was his time to show the World who he was。Jack Ruby changed that。A fascinating look into the past。

The assassination of JFK was before my time and as such， I only know the basics of the event。 After reading the synopsis， I realized that I should know more about this important time in American history。 The book drew me in right away。 The cover is attractive and the content allowed me to learn without feeling bored。 The authors interactions with， and personal information concerning Oswald and his wife， were quite interesting。 I liked the way the author chose to address the multitude of conspira The assassination of JFK was before my time and as such， I only know the basics of the event。 After reading the synopsis， I realized that I should know more about this important time in American history。 The book drew me in right away。 The cover is attractive and the content allowed me to learn without feeling bored。 The authors interactions with， and personal information concerning Oswald and his wife， were quite interesting。 I liked the way the author chose to address the multitude of conspiracy theories regarding the event。 Without giving too much away， I also appreciated the information about his family。 It was not hard to see how he became the type of man that could do such things。 The end was slightly redundant （it felt like a recap of the whole book。） This wasn't enough to sway my rating。 I understand why it was set up in such a way， but I don't think it was entirely necessary。 The book was engaging enough， that it really didn't need one。 ***I received my copy as part of Goodreads Giveaways。 This did not （and never does） influence my ratings。*** 。。。more
