In March 1964 the Dutch journalist Willem Oltmans (1925–2004)
encountered Marguerite Oswald, Lee Harvey Oswald’s mother, at JFK
International Airport. In April 1977, he found himself testifying
before the House Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA). In the
thirteen years between these two events, Oltmans conducted his own
investigation into the assassination of John F. Kennedy—an
undertaking that would bring him into contact with a host of
individuals with prominent roles in the case, most notably George
de Mohrenschildt (1911–1977), whose involvement with Oswald and
whose own untimely death remain mysteries to this day. Reporting on
the Kennedy Assassination is Oltmans’s account of his
investigation, published here for the first time in English.
Combining personal memoir and factual reporting, the book
chronicles the journalist’s interviews with figures such as Jim
Garrison and Cyril Wecht, his long and complicated friendship with
de Mohrenschildt and his wife, and his own whirlwind experience in
the media spotlight. Most saliently, Reporting on the Kennedy
Assassination offers an intimate look at Oltmans’s collaboration
with de Mohrenschildt on the book that would later become Lee
Harvey Oswald as I Knew Him, and at the circumstances surrounding
de Mohrenschildt’s death and his possible implication in
Oswald’s actions. Systematically annotated and fact-checked, with
an insightful introduction from editor Michael Rinella and a wealth
of rare photographs and letters, this book provides a fascinating
portrait of one of the twentieth century’s most controversial
journalists even as it completes a critical chapter in the
investigation of the Kennedy assassination.
