DJ and boards show very light shelf wear.; A bright solid book dustjacket in Mylar unclipped.; Large 8vo 9" - 10" tall; 824 pages; "Richard Case Nagell described as the man "hired to kill Oswald and prevent the assassination of JFK." With painstaking care Russell sets out to reconstruct the strange life of Nagell a former member of a super-secret army intelligence unit who was wounded in battle the sole survivor of two air crashes a contract agent for both the CIA and the KGB at different times and a man whose life kept intersecting with Oswald's. Russell has met Nagell on a number of occasions corresponded with him as recently as 1990 when he was living in a motel in California and wonderfully captures the intriguing eccentricities of his speech with his deliberate almost playful allusiveness. Nagell seems to have been utilized by both the CIA and the KGB to keep tabs on Oswald who himself probably also worked both sides of the street and was ultimately prodded by the Russians to head Oswald away from his role in the Dallas plot one of at least three to kill JFK in 1963 according to Russell. If Nagell failed to dissuade Oswald he was to kill him. At that point Nagell bewildered and unsure who was calling the shots lost his nerve warned the CIA and FBI of the impending disaster" Publishers Weekly . 0881849006 .
