Autobiography of Lee Harvey Oswald by Diane Holloway

Autobiography of Lee Harvey Oswald by Diane Holloway

This is a 'must read' for anyone with an interest in the Kennedy assassination, its impact on the American political system, and the controversies that surrounded it then.-Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI) Reading the words of this infamous man is more illuminating than a dozen volumes of analysis of his character. This book fills a definite niche in American history and is long overdue Holloway uses professionalism and competent knowledge of history to create an engaging biography of an enigmatic man.- Morgan Ann Adams, Charlotte Austin Review. A breath of fresh air in the JFK assassination literature.- Judge Robert Finn, former FBI agent. Lee Harvey Oswald, accused assassin of President John Kennedy, has remained a mystery for 45 years. Using Oswald's letters, speeches, radio interviews, brief autobiography, job/college applications, diary, book about Russia, and words according to those who knew him, the editor has fashioned his autobiography from childhood to death. Jack Ruby's testimony and lie detector test are included for readers to learn his motivation in killing Oswald. New materials such as papers given to President Clinton by Premier Boris Yeltsin and documents found in 2008 in the Dallas safe of District Attorney Henry Wade are included.

The author, Diane Holloway, Ph.D., a retired Dallas psychologist, has painstakingly gathered the works of Lee H. Oswald over a period of ten years. She was involved with the psychological assessment of one of Oswald's targets, Major General Edwin Walker, when Attorney General Robert Kennedy ordered an evaluation because of Walker's bizarre anti-government activities.
She has provided insight about Oswald's frame of mind by using his words, his activities, and historical events which undoubtedly influenced him. She has also clarified events regarding Oswald's murder which had puzzled researchers for years.
Holloway, author of Before You Say I Quit, published in 1990 by Macmillan, lectures about the Kennedy assassination at Elderhostels, community groups and universities. Her closeness to events, Parkland Hospital personnel in Dallas where she worked at the time of the assassination, and Dallas Police Department Personnel, where she was later Drug Czar of Dallas, make her insights valuable.
