Oswald (Lee Harvey) " he was my buddy in the Marines" by Kerry Thornley - 1965

2713 N. Pulaski Rd. Chicago, Illinois: The National Insider, 1965. 1st Edition . UNBOUND. Very Good/No Jacket. Complete original 1965 newspaper edition of the first part of the condensed tabloid publication of Kerry Thornley's book entitled OSWALD.Three years prior to the JFK assassination, Thornley had begun writing a novel about a disillusioned Marine. After meeting Oswald during his military service and later on hearing of his defection to Russia, Thornley shifted the subject matter entirely to Oswald. The Warren Commission investigating the JFK assassination subpoenaed his book manuscript entitled THE IDLE WARRIORS and delayed publication until 1991.The book OSWALD is based on his Warren Commission testimony which supported the lone assassin theory. Thornley himself became a person of interest in the District Attorney Jim Garrison investigation and was charged with perjury related to his denial of contact with Oswald while in New Orleans prior to the assassination. Thornley would later recant the lone assassin theory, even suggesting that he and Oswald may have been subjects of military LSD experimentation while serving in the Marines. In all, Thornley remains as much the enigma as Oswald himself.
