James L. Swanson’s Manhunt: The 12-Day Chase for Lincoln’s Killer was a New York Times bestseller, won the Edgar Award, and became mandatory reading for official Washington. Its fans included President George W. Bush, Speaker of the House John Boehner, Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell, and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.
Now, for the 50th anniversary of the death of President John F. Kennedy, Swanson returns with End of Days: The Assassination of John F. Kennedy, a gripping account of the murder and its aftermath. JFK’s trip to Dallas, Texas on November 22, 1963 set in motion a chain of unprecedented events: a man with a rifle in the window of a tall building, the death of a president recorded on a home movie, a frenzied manhunt, multiple murders, nationwide mourning, a public funeral that rivaled Lincoln’s, and the fatal shooting of the president’s killer on live TV as a horrified audience of millions watched. End of Days recreates four of the saddest and most terrifying days in American history.
Swanson then asks larger questions. Who was Lee Harvey Oswald? Why did he do it? How was the “right wing” wrongly blamed for the assassination? Who was the real John F. Kennedy – was he a closet conservative? And finally, what explains the dizzying number of conspiracy theories, and how have they undermined our faith in our institutions and democracy?
Pulitzer Prize-winning author Jon Meacham calls Swanson “a master” and praises End of Days as “grand narrative at its finest.”
James L. Swanson is Senior Legal Scholar in the Edwin Meese III Center for Legal and Judicial Studies at The Heritage Foundation.

Why is she relevant?
Why did Oswald’s mom always claimed he worked for the government? OK she was a greedy old lady but why did she always assert that?
Operation Mongoose turned their guns inward.
A year after his conviction, in March 1965, Ruby conducted a brief televised news conference in which he stated: “Everything pertaining to what’s happening has never come to the surface. The world will never know the true facts of what occurred, my motives. The people who had so much to gain, and had such an ulterior motive for putting me in the position I’m in, will never let the true facts come above board to the world.” When asked by a reporter, “Are these people in very high positions Jack?”, he responded “Yes.”
Oswald’s uncle and surrogate father, Dutz Murret, was a bookie in the XXXXXX organization ... Lee’s cousin (?) Marilyn Murret had all 23 pages of her testimony to the HSCA in 1977 classified. ( It should be noted that the HSCA had to get permission from who to interview her? ...
...
Warren Commission Document 942 says that it had been alleged that Marilyn Dorothea Murret (Oswald’s cousin) was linked in some manner with the apparatus of Professor Harold Isaacs. And Warren Commission Document 1080 (CD 1080), an FBI report entitled “Marilyn Dorothea Murret,” is entirely about Isaacs’ background and contains no mention of Murret. This document describes Isaacs as a disillusioned leftist intellectual who had become a professional anti-communist — which also reveals the true nature of the secret goals of CENIS. This report had been classified by the Warren Commission as a withheld file open only to the federal government and the Commission. It would probably still be secret if an assassination researcher had not discovered it misfiled in the National Archives in the mid-1970s.”
Look, his Aunt's, Uncles and relatives were whatever they were but Oswald’s life path, choices and direction should be examined.
How could he land a job in Texas in 1963 with a Defense Mapping Agency? What was his job at the Japanese Air base when he was in the service? So on and so forth...

HIS relatives
In 1975 the FBI investigated where I worked, looking for clues about Hoffa's disappearance. I worked in the Detroit area.
We had a huge trash compactor.
They asked us if we saw/heard/noticed anything strange or activity near the compactor on the night of...
Hoffa knew.
