The Assassination of JFK

Lee H. Oswald – Alleged Presidential Assassin

David Ferrie – Mercenary Mystery Man

The curious relationship between JFK's alleged assassin, the supposed left-wing Lee H. Oswald, and his Civil Air Patrol teacher, the brilliant, deviant, and right-wing David Ferrie is presented with a detailed analysis of Oswald’s curious acquaintances and their affiliations with espionage, communist, and anti-communist groups. Ferrie and his role in anti-Cuban activities, the CIA, and the mafia are compared with Oswald’s mysterious espionage legend.
