Who Was Lee Harvey Oswald?

Season 2013 Episode 18 | 1hr 53m 41s

FRONTLINE marks the 50th anniversary of the Kennedy assassination with an investigative biography of the man at the center of the political crime of the 20th century. At the heart of the assassination lies the puzzle of Lee Harvey Oswald: Was he an emotionally disturbed lone gunman? Was he part of a broader conspiracy? Or was he an unwitting fall guy, the patsy, as Oswald himself claimed?
