| Summary |
"As we approach the sixtieth anniversaries of the murders of President John F. Kennedy and his presumed assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald, the motives of Jack Ruby-the man who shockingly killed Oswald on live TV-are as maddeningly ambiguous today as they were the day that he pulled the trigger. Cultural historian Danny Fingeroth's research includes a new, in-depth interview with Rabbi Hillel Silverman, the legendary Dallas clergyman who visited Ruby regularly in prison and was witness to his descent into madness. Fingeroth also conducted interviews with Ruby family members and associates. The book's findings will catapult you into a trip through a house of historical mirrors. At its end, perhaps Jack Ruby's assault on history will begin to make sense. And perhaps we will understand how Oswald's assassin led us to the world we live in today"-- Provided by publisher. |
