Case Closed: Lee Harvey Oswald and the Assassination of JFK by Gerald Posner - 4* - My Review

This book provides a clear and insightful analysis of the Kennedy assassination based on facts and evidence. It dismantles the many conspiracy theories that existed at the time of publication (1993). The version I read also contains an Afterword in which the author provides the latest update (with no change to his conclusion). It is a biography of Lee Harvey Oswald and, to a lesser extent, Jack Ruby. It covers all the bases, especially elements that have been disputed, such as number of shots, bullets, trajectories, the Book Depository evidence, acoustics, and position of the victims. Some of the content can get a bit gruesome, especially the analysis of the autopsy reports. It is extremely detailed, as one of the author’s goals is to disprove the conspiracy theories, so he goes to great lengths to ensure all the possible interpretations are covered. It is exhaustively researched, meticulously documented, and convincing. The footnotes about the evidence are as interesting as the text. It also provides a historical perspective of how much has changed since the early 1960s.
