On November 24, 1963, President John F. Kennedy’s alleged assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald was gunned down in the basement of Dallas City Hall at the start of his transfer to the County Jail. It took place in front of dozens of Dallas Police personnel and members of the media. While the shooting was also filmed and broadcast live on television, the uproar from a defenseless man being killed before standing trial for the killings of President Kennedy and Dallas police officer, J.D. Tippit, was muted compared to the shock of the president’s assassination barely forty-eight hours later.And despite the many works on that historic weekend ever since, very little research has been dedicated to the shocking murder of Lee Oswald. Instead, it has stood presumed as one of the more open-and-shut aspects of the horror of that weekend in 1963.But as this book will prove - it is anything but.DEATH TO JUSTICE is the first book to focus entirely on the shooting of Lee Harvey Oswald. In doing so, it provides a never-before-seen deep dive into all aspects of the crime that includes:exposing the lengths of incompetence and culpability of the Dallas Police Department for Oswald’s slaying,providing the most definitive record of witnesses at the scene,highlighting a list of suspects, alongside Jack Ruby, that were involved in the shooting and its cover-up,and consolidating the evidence to establish a clear and complete scenario of how Oswald’s shooting most likely took place.Through reasoned and critical analysis of all facets of the event, DEATH TO JUSTICE corrects the narrative and solidifies the case that Lee Harvey Oswald’s murder is worthy of its own field of research. From this point, what more can still be uncovered about the weekend that changed the course of the world?
