John F. Kennedy was the 35th President of the United States and also the most charismatic American leader.

Shortly after his assassination, Lee Harvey Oswald was arrested and accused of murder.

Notorious Marxist, Oswald was a former Marine who migrated to the Soviet Union in 1959. Disillusioned by the life in the so-called communist paradise, Oswald returned to the United States in the summer of 1962.

Oswald killed the American president from the sixth floor of the Texas Schoolbook Depository in Dallas while JFK was in the presidential car crossing Dealey Plaza. Oswald used a Mannlicher-Caracano rifle.

Two days after the assassination Oswald was killed by Jack Ruby, the owner of a nightclub and a Mafia member.

The circumstances and the people who plotted the murder of the US President remained, until today, unclear.

Kennedy was a strong man with powerful enemies. The American conservative party, extremely influential in Texas, was not able to forgive the President open attitude regarding the politics of the Soviet Union.

The failure from the Bay of Pigs in April 1961 when the Cuban forces landed on the beaches were left without air support due to Kennedy’s order. His obvious desire to liberate America from the Vietnamese buzzard, brought the President other enemies, including bosses and powerful entrepreneurs from the ammunition industry.

In turn, Mafia was not pleased by the campaign against organized crime launched by Robert Kennedy and the Minister of Justice.

How convenient it was for them the disappearance of Kennedy? Everyone knew the animosity between his successor and Robert Kennedy. Finally, the powerful John Edgar Hoover, the FBI director (1924-1972), harbored a hardly disguised grudge against the liberalism promoted by the Kennedy brothers.
