A historical fiction of the life of Lee Harvey Oswald before and after the assassination of JFK. This book was quite enthralling and well done. It’s interesting that this book was published in 1988 and Oliver Stone’s JFK was released in 1991. That movie was predominantly influenced by another book “On the Trail of the Assassins” which was also published in 1988.
I will publish my favourite passage from the book, but I must warn you, it is not for the squeamish:
“Three days later he felt a stinging heat when he pissed. It burned inside. Two days after that he couldn’t help noticing a thick discharge from the selfsame organ. He went to the head in the middle of the night to study the fluid, a dreadful yellowish drip. At the lab they took a seris of smears and clutures, gave him nine hundred thousand units of penicillin, intramuscular, over a three-day period and returned him to light duty.
Ozzie had the clap.”
What a way to end a chapter.
