Summary:

Based on interviews, secret files, and scientific and computer enhancements of film and evidence, this book aims to put to rest once and for all speculation about involvement of the CIA, FBI, and the mafia in the assassination of JFK. The book covers the story of Lee Harvey Oswald's defection to Russia, told by the KGB agent who handled his case. The author provides details about Oswald's attempt to kill Army General Edwin Walker, and how he was shadowing Walker when Kennedy arrived in Dallas. The author also explores how the latest computer enhancements of the Zapruder film determine the number and precise timing of the shots fired in Dealey Plaza.
