Summary
Norman Mailer, one of the most celebrated American writers, delivers a riveting, investigative deep dive into the enigma that is Lee Harvey Oswald in Oswald's Tale: An American Mystery. Merging the sharp narrative of a novelist with the meticulous research of a historian, Mailer reconstructs Oswald’s life from his time in the Soviet Union to his fateful last days in Dallas. Drawing from KGB files, personal correspondence, and interviews, Mailer paints a chilling portrait of a man torn between ideology, delusion, and the thirst for recognition. This book is not just a biography—it’s a psychological dissection of a pivotal figure in American history. A must-read for those intrigued by the JFK assassination, Cold War politics, or the anatomy of a lone gunman.
