The focal point of the work is based on the notion that while in the custody of the Dallas Police, Oswald talked. John Elrod, a prisoner being detained at the same time as Oswald, overheard the exchange. According to Elrod, Oswald talked about Jack Ruby, a secret meeting, and several other relevant topics. Nine months later, in August 1964, Elrod went to the Memphis FBI and told them his story. The book, consisting of 11 chapters, each somewhat independent of one another, discusses various aspects of the Kennedy assassination.
Chapter One does in fact, deal with the alleged confessions of Oswald.
The rest of the book however, seems somewhat unrelated to the issue, touching upon it in tangents. One chapter, for example, elaborates on the person of George de Mohrenschildt, a friend of the Washington elite in the early sixties. In 1976 Mohrenschildt wrote a 246 page manuscript claiming that Oswald did not assassinate Kennedy. While somewhat relevant to the conspiracy itself, it has little to do with Oswald's alleged Dallas jail conversation. The book concludes with the statement that the evidence against Oswald has grown stronger since 1963.
