In her meticulous--at times even moment by moment--account of Oswald's progress toward the assassination of JFK, Priscilla Johnson McMillan takes us inside Oswald's fevered mind and his manic marriage. Only a few weeks after the birth of their second child, Oswald's wife, Marina, hears of Kennedy's death and discovers that Lee's rifle is missing from the garage where it was stored. She knows that her husband has killed the President. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e McMillan came to the story with a unique knowledge of the two main characters. In the 1950s, she worked for Kennedy and had known him well for a time. Later, working in Moscow as a journalist, she interviewed Lee Harvey Oswald during his attempt to defect to the Soviet Union. When she heard his name again on November 22, 1963, she said, \"My God! I know that boy!\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ci\u003eMarina and Lee\u003c\/i\u003e was written with the complete and exclusive cooperation of Oswald's Russian-born wife, Marina Prusakova, whom McMillan debriefed for seven months in the immediate aftermath of the President's assassination and her husband's nationally televised execution at the hands of Jack Ruby. The truth is far more compelling, and unsettling, than the most imaginative conspiracy theory. \u003ci\u003eMarina and Lee\u003c\/i\u003e is a human drama that is outrageous, heartbreaking, tragic, fascinating--and real.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Steerforth Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/06\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781586422165\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 688\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.83lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.12w x 1.88d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/08\/2013\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Priscilla Johnson McMillan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44174040858805,"sku":"9781586422165","price":33.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_16a7a9c2-5703-4a0e-b5d3-b82f823f853c.jpg?v=1716300170","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/marina-and-lee-the-tormented-love-and-fatal-obsession-behind-lee-harvey-oswalds-assassination-of-john-f-kennedy-9781586422165","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
