In intimate detail, Gregory captures his time spent with Lee and wife Marina in their run-down duplex on Mercedes Street in Fort Worth, Texas, being admitted into the inner world of a young marriage and candidly assesses 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 Lee's attempt to assassinate a retired general six months before the Kennedy shooting.
As a scholar and skilled researcher, Gregory answers the questions that collectively demonstrate that Lee Harvey Oswald had the motive, the intelligence, the means, and what Norman Mailer describes as the soul of a killer, to commit the JFK assassination.
