About this audiobook

This concise study posits that the Cold War defined the lives of John F. Kennedy, Nikita Khrushchev, and Lee Harvey Oswald. It also challenges longstanding interpretations of each of the three lives. Today, Khrushchev is a nearly forgotten historical figure, the arc of his colorful life neglected in Russia, rarely taught in American classrooms. While Kennedy remains a household name, the circumstances of his death have receded deeper into the past in mainstream discourse. Lee Harvey Oswald is almost universally assigned the role of the presidential assassin, as opposed to the alleged assassin. The Russian cultural expression “former people” is a thematic concept used as a springboard to recover accurate accounts of the lives of the three influential figures. The procedural flaws of the Warren Commission are examined along with the egregious shortcomings of the Warren Report, resulting in over a half-century of disinformation.
