In the highly emotional period following the tragic 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy, indications that the Soviet KGB and/or the Cuban DGI intelligence services had clandestine operational relationships with the assassin Lee Harvey Oswald were suppressed by Soviet and Cuban as well as American authorities. Had the authorities not done so, the situation could have spun out of control and a nuclear holocaust might well have resulted. As more and more information has been revealed, especially since the end of the Cold War, the existence of separate KGB and DGI operational relationships with Oswald is obvious to experienced intelligence officers.So, imagine the panic of Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev 13 months after the Cuban Missile Crisis when he learned that a low level KGB spy named Oswald had just assassinated the President of the United States. No, the KGB did not direct the assassination but yes, the assassin Oswald had worked for the KGB.Imagine the reaction of Cuba’s Fidel Castro, who knew that Kennedy personally supported persistent CIA efforts to kill him and had expressly warned the Americans that he was prepared to retaliate in kind. Yes, Oswald had offered to attempt killing Kennedy on Fidel’s behalf but did Cuban intelligence officers ever imagine that Oswald might actually succeed?And imagine that you were America’s new President Lyndon Johnson. What would you do? If only the Cubans were involved then you might simply bomb the island back to the stone ages. But what if the nuclear armed Soviets were implicated as well? E.B. Held brings the Kennedy Assassination to life, including photos and walking tours of key sites in Washington, New Orleans, and Dallas. A retired CIA operations officer and former Director of Intelligence and Counterintelligence at the Department of Energy, Held provides a straightforward explanation based on undisputed historical facts of the relationship between Oswald and the Soviet, Cuban, and American intelligence services.
