Explorer #14: John F. Kennedy Assassination - CIA, Mafia, or Lee Harvey Oswald w/ Gerald Posner

Gerald Posner is the author of thirteen acclaimed books, including New York Times bestsellers CASE CLOSED, WHY AMERICA SLEPT, and GOD's BANKERS. He is a contributor to Forbes. Posner was a finalist for the Pulitzer in History. “A merciless pit bull of an investigator,” concluded the Chicago Tribune.

In this interview, we discussed Case Closed, a comprehensive and absolutely mind-blowing investigation of John F. Kennedy's assassination. Gerald covers the backstories of the main characters of the saga, Lee Harvey Oswald and Jack Ruby, and whether or not they had links to CIA, KGB, or Mafia.
