Few people today believe the official explanation that Oswald was the sole assassin of JFK. Eye-witness accounts, film shot at the time and acoustic, medical and photographic evidence all point to a second gunman, and a second gunman points to the most feared scenario: a conspiracy. Despite many theories - involving the Mafia, the Russians and the CIA - no one has yet come up with a convincing explanation of Oswald's precise role in the President's murder. After 30 years of research, Matthew Smith presents evidence for a second plot - a plot in which Oswald's true role in the assassination is exposed - and the unmasking of a second plot leads naturally to the first. We learn who Oswald really was, who he was working for and what his role was in the macabre enterprise.
