Did the KGB or Russian government order the killing Featuring interviews with authors Norman Mailer and Edward J. Epstein, politician Gary Hart, news anchor Dan Rather, activist Tom Hayden, attorney Mark Lane and others, Oswalds Ghost uses a wealth of archival material much of it never before publicly seen or heard to chronicle Americas obsession with the pivotal event of a generation.
