Acerca de esta escucha
Foreword written and narrated by best-selling author Joseph Finder. The inside story of Lee Harvey Oswald's path to killing John. F. Kennedy.
Reissued to mark the 50th anniversary of the Kennedy assassination, Marina and Lee is an indispensable account of one of America's most traumatic events, and a classic work of narrative history. In her meticulous, at times even moment by moment, account of Oswald's progress toward the assassination, Priscilla Johnson McMillan takes us inside Oswald's fevered mind and his manic marriage. When Marina, only a few weeks after giving birth to their second child, hears of Kennedy's death and discovers that Lee's rifle is missing from the garage where it was stored, she knows that her husband has killed the president.
McMillan came to the story with a unique knowledge of the two main characters. In the 1950s she had worked for Kennedy and had known him well for a time. Later, working in Moscow as a journalist, she interviewed Lee Harvey Oswald during his attempt to defect to the Soviet Union. When she heard his name again on November 22, 1963, she said, "My God! I know that boy!" Marina and Lee was written with the complete and exclusive cooperation of Oswald's Russian-born wife, Marina Prusakova, whom McMillan debriefed for seven months in the immediate aftermath of the president's assassination and her husband's nationally televised execution at the hands of Jack Ruby.
The truth is far more compelling, and unsettling, than the most imaginative conspiracy theory. Marina and Lee is a human drama that is outrageous, heartbreaking, tragic, fascinating... and real.

Polls reveal that 85 percent of Americans believe there was a conspiracy behind Lee Harvey Oswald. Some even believe Oswald was entirely innocent. In this encyclopedic, absorbing audiobook, Vincent Bugliosi shows how the public has come to believe such lies about the day that changed the course of history. Bugliosi has devoted almost 20 years of his life to this project, and is determined to show that, despite the overwhelming popular perception, Oswald killed Kennedy and acted alone.

In an astonishing feat of empathy and narrative invention, our most ambitious novelist imagines an alternate version of American history. In 1940 Charles A. Lindbergh, heroic aviator and rabid isolationist, is elected president. Shortly thereafter, he negotiates a cordial "understanding" with Adolf Hitler while the new government embarks on a program of folksy anti-Semitism.

A photo on Masih's Facebook page: a woman standing proudly, face bare, hair blowing in the wind. Her crime: removing her veil, or hijab, which is compulsory for women in Iran. This is the self-portrait that sparked "My Stealthy Freedom", a social media campaign that went viral. But Masih is so much more than the arresting face that sparked a campaign inspiring women to find their voices. She's also a world-class journalist whose personal story, told in her unforgettably bold and spirited voice, is emotional and inspiring.

What does it mean to be a Kennedy? If ever three women would be challenged and changed by marriage into a family, it would be Jacqueline Bouvier, Ethel Skakel, and Joan Bennett. None of these radiant brides could have ever been prepared for the fame, the family, and tragedies that would spring from their lives. As they struggled to cope with their husbands' infidelities, the harsh glare of the media, and the assassinations of John and Robert Kennedy, these women would learn what it meant to be sisters, reaching out to one another with comfort and consolation.

Historia
What would life be like for a Black boy growing up in Nazi Germany? This unprecedented autobiography answers that question with the spellbinding true story of Hans J. Massaquoi’s life in Hamburg during the height of Hitler’s regime. Hans is the son of a Black Liberian diplomat father and a white German mother. His father returns to Africa at the beginning of the war, leaving them behind in poverty without the means to flee. Within this tense atmosphere, increasingly violent Nazi policies and Allied bombing raids make Hans and his mother’s lives a day-to-day survival struggle.

Cartoonish narration
The book itself is a vital component of any meaningful study of the (lone) assassin's tortured life and evil mind. It ranks with "Case Closed" and "Reclaiming History" as the most sober, accurate analysis of a sick man's awful crimes. However, the audiobook presentation is atrocious, ruined by a narrator who voices characters in a ham-fisted, cartoonish manner. Oswald, who spoke with a subtle New Orleans accent, is made to sound like a rootin'-tootin' cowpoke, and all Russian characters sound like Boris Badenov and Natasha Fatale. Michael Paine, a Harvard-educated New Yorker, is voiced like a Texas wrangler. Why? Because he lived in Dallas, of course, so our narrator must ascribe to him a Texas drawl despite numerous and readily available interviews with the late Mr. Paine. The narrator doesn't think you're intelligent enough to know better or to care.
The vocal shenanigans are beyond distracting, they are an affront to McMillan's life's work and an insult to the listener. There is no need for any type of vocal affectation when narrating an audiobook. With very simple voice inflection it can be made plainly obvious when reading a quote. But the narrator thinks that you would prefer his silly accents. Buy the book, read it yourself and make up your own voices in your head if you want, but skip this abomination.

The KGB Should Send This Narrator To The Gulag!
Narrator R.C. Bray is so obnoxious with his faux Russian accent that I wanted to slap him every time I heard it. It really ruined the audio experience for me. Also, assuming the quotes from Oswald's wife Marina were accurate, I grew to dislike her intensely. She comes off as an arrogant, condescending, smarmy, sarcastic bitch. It appears Jack Ruby did Oswald a favor.
Finally, the author really disrupts the flow of the story with her "Interludes," in which she attempts to psychoanalyze the players. Her analysis comes off as mumbo-jumbo nonsense and undermines her credibility. She should have stuck to the chronological history and left the Freudian bullshit out of it.

Not a history buff
I only knew about Lee Harvey Oswald based off of what Stephen king wrote and after that I was hooked to learn more about Lee, but especially Marina. This is a fantastic book!

A good read
I found this book to be apocryphal and circumstantial. There are a great number of facts that will remain unknown. It is a good story. It is narrated well.

Now I know why he did it
I've been a student of the Kennedy assassination since that day in high school when we heard the news. For many years I assumed, like a lot of people, that there was a conspiracy, that LHO was as patsy, etc. etc. Until I read Case Closed by Gerald Posner.
But I never knew why Oswald did it. Then I read Marina and Lee. I can summarize his motives (as I understand them) in four words, but I probably shouldn't. Might ruin the ending for you. What a great book. I never got a round to reading it when t first came out. That's the nice thing about audio books. They make it easy to catch up on your reading.

Worthwhile and interesting, but flawed
I found the story of Marina and Lee very interesting, and felt I got an intimate look at these characters and their lives over the course of the book. However McMillan’s psychological analysis of Lee, which she uses to persuade us that Lee Oswald assassinated Kennedy is flawed, and does not follow from the character portrayal we just witnessed. It make no sense that Oswald killed Kennedy. He very much liked John Kennedy, approved of Jackie, and felt compassion for them as parents who grieved the loss of more than one child. Lee loved children, adored his own children and, unequivocally, was a genuinely loving father. No one disputes that. Lee told numerous people close to him, and it’s not disputed here, that he felt Kennedy the best leader our country could hope for, given the constraints on true institutional change. Lee was simply not the kind of kook who kills people he likes and admired. That’s a different profile. If he were to kill anyone, his psychology would be to kill someone he despised, and only for political injustice (as he saw it) — I.e., extreme right-wing bigots. Lee was getting regular sex and, more importantly love, from both his wife and mistress during the year leading up to the assassination, he had two baby girls he loved, and he was employed. It makes ZERO sense that he would set out to kill President Kennedy of all people. Much evidence elsewhere points to Oswald’s innocence. A shame on our country that he was allowed to be shot in the basement of the police dept by a member of the mob, that he had no lawyer, he was denied due process, and we will probably never resolve this stain on the American experience.

Longer than it needed to be
This book started out really interesting - Marina’s early life in Russia and meeting Lee, but the author goes on tangents often, leaving the reader wondering why they’re getting a day by day, blow by blow of their daily lives. Once they’re in America, Lee is a horribly abusive husband and the author makes this clear by detailing every fight and punch. Marina’s sad story is made sadder by her willingness to obey a monster.
Since the story is told mostly from Marina’s interview with the author, and the story makes clear that Marina doesn’t know Lee as well as she thinks she does, I genuinely question the accuracy of Marina’s take on the events around JFK. How does a wife, who doesn’t ever know her husband’s whereabouts, or even where he lives, provide much insight into this historic event? If anything, this story leaves the reader with more questions.
*note about narration - sounds like the narrator gets confused if Marina is Russian or Irish

Outstanding biography
Really loved this book as difficult as it was in many places. Reinforces image of Oswald as loner, loser, misfit - a lone man in the right place in the right time to change history. So sad that this pathetic excuse for a man could take down Camelot. Fascinating insider story of life in the USSR back in the day. I really felt for Marina.
