Customer Reviews

An FBI agent's point-of-view

James Hosty was certainly an important witness to history. He was one of the few to have interviewed both Lee and Marina Oswald. His book does a good job of connecting the dots, at least from his unique, law enforcement point-of-view and would be recommended reading for any JFK assassination buff.

A Candid Recounting of JFK Assassination

Hosty's book provides a candid recounting of the tragic events of Nov. 22, 1963. While Hosty acknowledges his own mistakes, he tries to put the president's assassination in proper context and explain what was really happening behind "closed doors." An exciting read, and a must read for buffs. Hosty's candid recounting will surely get under the skin of conspiracy theorists.
