Read the book by Vincent Bugliosi, "Reclaiming History: The Assassination Of President John F. Kennedy (2007)". It is well researched and is over 1600 pages, so it's a long read but well worth the effort.
His book examines the JFK assassination in detail and his findings matched those of the Warren Commission's final report, which concluded that Lee Harvey Oswald had acted alone in the assassination of the 35th President.
The title, "Reclaiming History", derived from his belief that history of the Kennedy assassination has been hijcked by conspiracy theories. He stated, "Unless the fraud is finally exposed, the word 'believed' will be forgotten by future generations and John F. Kennedy will unquestionably become the victim of a conspiracy. Belief will have become unchallenged fact, and the faith of the American people in their institutions further eroded. If that is allowed to happen, Lee Harvey Oswald, a man who hated his country and everything for which it stands, will have triumphed even beyond his intent on that fateful day in November."
Author Gerald Posner, who wrote "Case Closed" (1993) about the JFK assassination states:
"Time and technology have caught up with the conspiracy theorist. Some of their most important contentions have collasped. For example: Photographic test reveal that the backyard photos of Oswald holding his weapons, contested as fakes, are authentic; ballistics and computer studies confirm the so-called magic bullet theory, long derided by consiracy theorist as impossible; and neuron activation test provide the final link that Oswald tried to assassinate General Edwin Walker, a crime for which many considered Oswald innocent. After years of studying the case the critics have failed to produce a single, cogent, alternate scenario of how the alleged conspiracy happened or who was involved.
There is more than enough evidence available on the record to draw conclusions about what happened in the JFK assassination. But apparently most Americans, despite the strength of the evidence, do not want to except the notion that random acts of violence can change the course of history and that Lee harvey Oswald could affect our lives in a way over which we have no control. It is unsettling to think that a sociopathic twenty-four year old loser in life, armed with a $12 rifle and consumed by his own warped motivation, ended Camelot. But with readers willing to approach the subject with an open mind, it is the only rational judgement."
