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.

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.

Exhaustive Story

ok, ok, I think that I am convinced. of course, I already was before! maybe this is one of those topics that you really can't change someone's mind about.

loaded with info

gives you plenty of insight on Lee Harvey Oswald. Tells you all you need to know about Oliver Stone !

Detail and sourcing was amazing. Narrator was superb

Destroys the conspiracy loonies! A methodical review of all the known facts and investigations. Never boring and outlines how nutty people can be.

Excellent on all levels

Posner went to great lengths to close the book on the various conspiracy theories surrounding the JFK assassination. At one time I was someone who believed in the Garrison/Stone narrative. As I have gotten older I have learned so much more about the assassination and those who experienced it first hand.

This is definitely a must read.

Conclusive

Posner leaves no stone unturned in this exhaustive investigation into what really happened on November 22nd, 1963. Even those who don't want to accept the truth presented here, will have to admit there is no denying the skill in which the facts are presented in this book.

After All This Time

Clarity and systematic descriptions of people and behaviors of Oswald and Ruby while dismantling every theory along the way. Well Done

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.
