Contents: Publisher's Note:

A portrait of Lee Harvey Oswald is based on interviews with former acquaintances and research gathered from Minsk, where Oswald hid for more than two years after defecting to the Soviet Union.

Norman Mailer follows the life of Lee Harvey Oswald from his life in Russia to his assassination of President Kennedy. Mailer explores every facet of Oswald's character--his love of music, chess, books and photography; his inability to get along with people; his marriage to Marina; and his infatuation with rebellion, secrecy and covert operations.
