From the author of JFK and Vietnam: A “meticulously documented exposé” that “reads like an intricate spy thriller” (Publishers Weekly).

What was the extent of the CIA’s involvement with Lee Harvey Oswald? Did the agency take part in his defection to the Soviet Union? Was the government keeping tabs on him from his return to the United States in June 1962 until November 22, 1963? Why was Oswald's file tampered with before the assassination of John F. Kennedy? And why did significant documents from that file mysteriously disappear?

With access to newly released government documents, former US military intelligence officer John Newman answers these questions, not with theories, but with information from the primary sources themselves—ex-agents, officials, and secret records. To look at the Oswald file is to look at the most sensitive CIA operation of the Cold War. The story is as alarming as it is tragic; the lies and manipulations it reveals led directly to Kennedy’s murder. Oswald and the CIA is a gripping journey to the darkest corners of the CIA.
