While much was written in the wake of Lee Harvey Oswald’s assassination of President John F. Kennedy, few journalists stopped to ask who Oswald really was, and what was driving him. In Oswald’s Game, Davison slices to the core of the man, revealing Oswald’s most formative moments, beginning with his days as a difficult but intelligent child. She traces his erratic service in the Marine Corps, his youthful marriage, and the radical interests that prompted him to defect to the Soviet Union. A rounded and enthralling portrait emerges, illuminating Oswald’s intense conflicts and contradictions. Writing against the grain of earlier accounts, Davison sifts through the evidence to compose an utterly persuasive narrative of Oswald’s personal and political motivations, based not on conspiracy but on the life of a profoundly troubled man.

The more I learn about Oswald’s personality, the more I am convinced he shot Kennedy. He was a narcissist who wanted to change history.

Great information on Oswald

Among the best JFK Assassination books I have read. Narrator is fine. Some pronounciations are ghastly, but the tone fits the work. Highly highly recommend.

Excellent

Linda She's very is absolutely horrible. She sounds like an answering machine. Flat delivery and absolutely no emotion. Just terrible.

The WORST Narrator!!!

While there is some good background information the book takes a major downturn when it comes to the assassination. It assumes Oswald took the a rifle (even though Frazier said the package he brought was too short to be a disassembled rifle) and then says that “he had the 6th floor all the himself” although there are no witnesses putting him on the 6th floor at the time of the assassination and quite to the contrary regarding witnesses placing him on the 2nd and ground floor. At the minimum it should have stuck to facts and not assumptions.

Too many assumptions
