The closest friend of Lee Harvey Oswald and his Soviet wife Marina
upon the couple's arrival in Texas breaks a sixty-year silence with
a riveting story of his time with JFK's assassin and his candid
assessment of the murder that marked a turning point in our
country's history. Merely two hours after the assassination of
President John F. Kennedy, television cameras captured police
escorting a suspect into Dallas police headquarters. Meanwhile at
the University of Oklahoma, watching the coverage in the student
center, Paul Gregory scanned the figure in dark trousers and a
white, V-neck tee shirt and saw the bruised and battered face of
Lee Harvey Oswald. Shocked, Gregory said, "I know that man." In
fact, he knew Oswald and his wife Marina better than almost anyone
in America. After sixty years, Paul Gregory finally tells
everything he knows about the Oswalds and how he watched the soul
of a killer take shape. Identified by the FBI as a "known associate
of LHO," Gregory soon faced interrogations by the Secret Service.
Later he would testify before the Warren Commission. Here, in The
Oswalds, he offers the intimate details of his time spent with Lee
and wife Marina in their run-down duplex on Mercedes Street in Fort
Worth, Texas, and his admission into the inner world of a young
marriage before candidly assessing the murder that marked a turning
point in our country's history. His riveting recollection includes
memories both casual and deadly serious, such as the dinner at his
parents' house introducing Marina to the "Dallas Russians," a
front-yard incident of spousal abuse, and a further rift in the
marriage when he exposed to Marina that Oswald was not the dashing,
radical intellectual whose Historic Diary would be a publishing
sensation. And Gregory also gives a fascinating account of his
father's role as an eyewitness to history, serving as Marina's
translator and confidante in the first four days after the
assassination. As a scholar and skilled researcher, Gregory debunks
the vast array of assassination conspiracy theories by
demonstrating that Lee Harvey Oswald did it and did it alone-that
the Oswald he once called a friend had the motive, the
intelligence, and the means to commit one of the most shocking
crimes in American history.
