About this listen

 The newly declassified files shatter the Warren Commission's portrait of Lee Harvey Oswald as an isolated gunman. CIA surveillance from Mexico City reveals Oswald met with Soviet and Cuban officials just weeks before the assassination—not as a confused defector, but with operational knowledge that suggests intelligence connections. FBI memos show they maintained closer contact with Oswald after his return from Russia than ever admitted, facilitating his involvement with pro-Castro groups while using Bureau informants to monitor his activities. Rather than the disturbed loner of official accounts, Oswald emerges as someone embedded in networks of intelligence operatives, Cuban exiles, and FBI assets. Cold War paranoia shaped the government's need for a simple narrative, but the declassified documents reveal a far more complex truth about the man who changed American history.
