description: Of all the millions of words written in anger or certainty regarding arguably the greatest murder mystery of all time, the assassination of President John Fitzgerald Kennedy, one testimony remains glaringly absent. The deposition of Lee Harvey Oswald, the alleged assassin, was silenced by Jack Ruby‘s bullet before he could tell his story to a shocked and grieving world. The Two Faces of Lee Harvey Oswald is a unique work. No other book in the public domain concentrates on Lee Oswald‘s point of view; a young man caught up by, then hopelessly trapped in, history. From the moment of his return from the Soviet Union, Oswald became tangled in a web of intrigue, deception and murder. And yet, no amount of speculation or rumour mongering can lend history in general and Oswald in particular, his own words. "I'm just a patsy!" Oswald screamed, as he was led along a corridor in the Dallas Police Building, shortly after his arrest that fateful weekend. We will never truly know how innocent, or guilty, Oswald was. But his memory deserves a hearing. The most accurate hearing possible. There are three accusations usually thrown at Oswald by those who believe in his guilt... LEE HARVEY OSWALD : LOSER Worked at a top secret Naval base in Atsugi, Japan whilst serving in the US Marine Corps in the late nineteen fifties. It was from this this base that the CIA flew their top secret U2 spy planes over Communist China and the Soviet Union. LEE HARVEY OSWALD : LONER Warren Commission member, later President, Gerald R Ford revealed to the world Oswald‘s secret FBI informant number in his 1965 book, Portrait of the Assassin. LEE HARVEY OSWALD : NUT No-one, be it The Warren Commission,The House Select Committee on Assassinations, the US Secret Service, the Federal Bureau of Investigation or the Dallas Police Department, has ever proved beyond a reasonable doubt that Lee Oswald was in that window, with that rifle, at that time, on that day.
