Case Closed – Gerald Posner, 1993 ★★★★

Mr. Oswald...in the Depository...with the Rifle

He is at the core of one of America's darkest mysteries, yet the case can be made that Lee Harvey Oswald isn't all that hard to understand.

He was a habitual outsider who carried with him big dreams but, like so many of us, lacked the gumption and/or talent to turn them into reality. He was hypersensitive yet prone to seeking out conflict, and capable of harboring resentments more than he was of holding a job.

Add to this more than a smattering of sociopathy inherited from a crazy mother and a resilient dash of Marxism, and you have the recipe for the man who killed the 35th President of the United States all by his lonesome.
