Case Closed

Lee Harvey Oswald and the Assassination of JFK

By: Gerald Posner

Narrated by: Scott Aiello

The assassination of John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963, continues to inspire interest ranging from well-meaning speculation to bizarre conspiracy theories and controversial filmmaking. But in this landmark audiobook, reissued with a new afterword for the 40th anniversary of the assassination, Gerald Posner examines all of the available evidence and reaches the only possible conclusion: Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone.

There was no second gunman on the grassy knoll. The CIA was not involved. And although more than four million pages of documents have been released since Posner first made his case, they have served only to corroborate his findings. Case Closed remains the classic account against which all books about JFK's death must be measured.

Case Closed...and then some.

This book makes mincemeat of all the bizarre assassination conspiracy theorists by providing clear objective research based on facts . Sadly, the peddling of conspiracy theories surrounding the assassination of JFK became a lucrative industry that capitalized off a national tragedy. However, this book decisively
dismantles the multitude of conspiracies out there along with the charlatans who push them.

Read this after you read the conspiracy books

A very clear and logical and well researched takedown of all of the ridiculous conspiracy theories surrounding this important event. This makes the Oliver Stone film seem like fantasy. Sometimes the simplest and clearest explanation is true. When you read the other books on the assassination, it becomes clear how much obfuscation, and unnecessary complication they create around this issue.  One thing this book does so well that the other books tend to ignore is the character of Lee Harvey Oswald. After a few chapters of explaining his background and his general personality, it is not hard to believe he was the lone gunman.

Detailed and convincing

Posner spares no detail imaginable to prove its thesis and disprove conspiracy theories. The book is essentially a biography of Oswald, followed by a biography of Ruby, follows by a critical review of the conspiracy literature. It’s well told and well read. It may be too detailed for many readers.

Detailed, yet never boring

Narration was absolutely flawless--a joy to listen to. Posner gets way into the weeds without being boring. Truth-lovers will love this book. Conspiracy buffs will be disappointed.

Leaves no doubt

If you have a conspiracy buff in your family, this book will utterly convince him and you that it’s all bunk. Well done and through
