Oswald's Tale: : An American Mystery

Rating:
Summary: Poorly written but well-documented account of Lee and Marina
Review: We have to give old Mailer credit for changing his mind about JFK conspiracies as he learned more about Lee Oswald through Russian documents and acquaintances. It is clear that Mailer began this book thinking that Oswald was not a lone assassin. In fact, one could swear that others helped Mailer write this because of the obvious change in styles and conclusions. But after all his unfolding of Oswald's history, he came to the conclusion that Oswald did it, in a similar mood as when he tried to assassinate General Walker six months early. Only Mailer could help the public recognize how sexual and career frustration and jealousy of the President accounted for his murder. This review is submitted by a psychologist who helped assess General Edwin Walker in Dallas some months before the assassination.
