About this ebook

"A book for the ages." —Los Angeles Times Book Review

Four Days in November is an extraordinarily exciting, precise, and definitive narrative of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963, by Lee Harvey Oswald. It is drawn from Reclaiming History: The Assassination of President John F. Kennedy, a monumental and historic account of the event and all the conspiracy theories it spawned, by Vincent Bugliosi, legendary prosecutor of Charles Manson and author of Helter Skelter. For general readers, the carefully documented account presented in Four Days is utterly persuasive: Oswald did it and he acted alone.

Ratings and reviews

Oswald was working for the cia trying to gain intelligence from the Russians and the cubans so had to set himself up as a defector to Carry out this task. The cia milked him dry. No longer had a use for him other than to be their cover up story. The plan was perfect they could show that he was working for Russian intelligence easy, sold this to the fbi and said if it gets out their would b a world war. Fear can control a nation and it worked

There are so many mistakes that I don't know what to trust. Maybe they don't really matter, but it makes me wonder if everything else is incorrect too. One example: it has Tippet trailing Oswald down Crawford. Physically impossible considering where they ended up. There are many more mistakes. What to believe?

It took some time to read this book. But hard not to put it down when I would read it.
