The Second Oswald

"The Second Oswald: A Case for Conspiracy" by Richard H. Popkin is a thought-provoking exploration of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Published in 1966, this book offers a unique perspective on the events surrounding the assassination, suggesting that there may have been a second Oswald involved in the plot. Popkin, a renowned philosopher and historian, presents a compelling argument that the Warren Commission's findings, which concluded that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in assassinating Kennedy, were inadequate and overlooked crucial evidence. He argues that there were two Oswalds: one, the "real" Oswald, who was a Marxist sympathizer and lone gunman; and the other, a "second Oswald," who was a right-wing extremist and part of a larger conspiracy to assassinate the president. Through meticulous research and analysis, Popkin presents a wealth of evidence to support his theory, including inconsistencies in the official story, witness accounts that contradict the Warren Commission's findings, and suspicious connections between various right-wing groups and individuals with ties to the assassination. One of the strengths of "The Second Oswald" is Popkin's ability to present complex information in a clear and accessible way. He writes in a straightforward, logical style that makes it easy for readers to follow his argument and understand the evidence he presents. While "The Second Oswald" was published over 50 years ago, it remains a relevant and important contribution to the ongoing debate about the JFK assassination. Popkin's theory of a second Oswald has been widely discussed and debated by historians, conspiracy theorists, and armchair detectives alike, and his book remains a valuable resource for anyone interested in this fascinating and tragic event. In conclusion, "The Second Oswald" is a well-researched and thought-provoking book that challenges the official narrative of the JFK assassination. Popkin's argument is compelling and well-supported, and his book is a must-read for anyone interested in this enduring mystery...
