The Road to Dallas
The Road to Dallas, about the Kennedy assassination, was published by Harvard University Press in 2008. The book accepts the Warren Commission's finding that Lee Harvey Oswald was the lone gunman, but posits that he was an opponent of Castro used by mafia leaders Santo Trafficante, John Roselli, and Sam Giancana, who wanted Kennedy and Castro dead,[1] as revenge for the attempts made by Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy to persecute them.[2]
