Biography & Autobiography. History. True Crime. Nonfiction. HTML:�??The single best book ever written on the Kennedy assassination�?� (Thomas Mallon, author of Mrs. Paine's Garage): A Kennedy insider tells the shocking story of Lee Harvey Oswald�??s path to killing JFK
/>  
Marina and Lee is an indispensable account of one of America�??s most traumatic events and a classic work of narrative history. 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.
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!�?�
 
Marina and Lee 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. Marina and Lee is a human drama that is outrageous, heartbreaking, tragic, fascinating�??and real.
