A work of meticulous research and breathtaking insight, Oswald’s Tale: An American Mystery asks the essential question about the Kennedy Assassination: Who was Lee Harvey Oswald?

Norman Mailer brilliantly reconstructs the life of this ambitious, doom-laden young man, bringing to the task not only a sober respect for the facts but the power, as America’s most distinguished novelist. To invest those facts with vibrant and haunting life.
