Oswald's Tale by Norman Mailer asks the essential question regarding the assassination of JFK: not who killed Kennedy but rather who is Oswald? Only by answering the second question can the first be answered. In this book the author reconstructs the life of this ambitious yet doomed man, giving full context for the first time not only of the Minsk years but also of Oswald's disastrous childhood, years in the Marine Corps, and the events leading to his return to the U.S. in 1961 and his death in 1963. The book has been described as a nonfiction masterpiece. Meticulous research has been used to create the masterpiece of history.
