\u201cWe can\u2019t accept very comfortably that two nobodies, two nothings - Lee Harvey Oswald and Jack Ruby - were able to change the course of world history.\u201d\n\nThe murder of Lee Harvey Oswald, JFK\u2019s apparent assassin, by the night club owner Jack Ruby on 24th November 1963 changed everything. Right from the start, rumours had circulated that Oswald had not been acting alone, building on the deep anxieties of American society in the 1950s and 1960s. Some blamed Communist states such as Cuba or the Soviet Union; others anti-Castro exiles, or the Ku Klux Klan. As the years passed, the CIA and FBI came under suspicion. Did Lyndon Johnson know more about the conspiracy than he pretended? Just what was Richard Nixon doing on that fateful day? And how did Frank Sinatra\u2019s drummer fit in?\n\nJoin Tom and Dominic as they explore the background to the Kennedy conspiracy theories, from umbrella men to grassy knolls, discussing the wider context and investigating every last clue in their tireless search for the truth.\n\n\n\n*Dominic\u2019s book The Fall of the Aztecs is available now from bookshops across the UK - the perfect Christmas present!*\n\nTwitter:\xa0\n@TheRestHistory\n@holland_tom\n@dcsandbrook\nProducer: Theo Young-Smith\nExecutive Producers: Jack Davenport + Tony Pastor\nLearn more about your ad choices.
