IMPOSSIBLE: The Case Against Lee Harvey Oswald CREATIVE COMMONS EDITION Barry Krusch Reviews for Impossible: The Case Against Lee Harvey Oswald (Books) [A]uthor Barry Krusch has documented and done a great amount of research on Oswald and written hundreds of words clearing Oswald of Kennedy’s murder. Barry Krusch found many answers right in the witness’ testimony found in the 26 volumes of the Warren Commission. His three volumes clearing Oswald are Impossible: The Case Against Lee Harvey Oswald, Volumes I, II, III. If you are interested in the truth, I highly recommend Mr. Krusch’s book. James Tague LBJ and The Kennedy Killing Chapter 40 James "Jim" Thomas Tague (October 17, 1936 – February 28, 2014) was a witness to the assassination of U.S. President John F. Kennedy in Dallas, Texas, on November 22, 1963. Tague received a minor wound to his right cheek immediately prior to the assassination, caused by tiny pieces of concrete debris from a street curb that was struck by a bullet presumably intended for Kennedy. Besides Kennedy and Texas Governor John B. Connally, Tague was the only person known to have been wounded by gunfire in Dallas' Dealey Plaza that day. What an excellent set of books: very solid research on the real case against Oswald. This book is not only well written, it brings up many important points regarding the assassination of President Kennedy that are seldom mentioned. It provides some great reading on the subject and is entertaining as well. Ed Souza Undeniable Truths: The Clear and Simple Facts Surrounding the Murder of President John F. Kennedy “Selected Book Reviews” Professor Ed Souza is a former Los Angeles police officer who has spent twenty-five years in the fields of law enforcement, investigations, and education. Currently, he is a senior professor and program lead of criminal justice and criminal investigations. Reviews for Impossible: The Case Against Lee Harvey Oswald (Amazon.com) I have read probably 10, maybe 15 JFK books, cover to cover. . . . but Barry Krusch’s books are quite different. They are destined to become the Rosetta Stone of the JFK case. Krusch lets nothing pass — EVERY issue that needs to be discussed and proven, if you will, he takes it and gnaws it like a bone. He goes from the premise of “so you know nothing on the subject or have few opinions, huh? Or you are convinced that Oswald was the lone assassin, huh? Let me show you how you are mistaken.” He starts the book with a defense of the reasonable doubt standard that, I can tell you as a criminal defense attorney myself, is to die for. . . . Once he takes that standard and he starts to look at the weaknesses in the case against Oswald, something happens. And it happens over and over: What I THOUGHT was the state of the evidence, well, it just isn’t so. And he doesn’t just string cite footnotes. No, he prints them out, word for word, basically from computer screen captures. This way, when someone (like, say, Vincent Bugliosi) later on tries to say “I was misquoted,” well, no you weren’t Vinny. The quote is RIGHT there. In short, when Barry Krusch claims that he will show you that no one can prove that LHO was the lone assassin, he instead PROVES that those who we were supposed to trust in America — the press, the political class, the academics — they have all been lying to us for such a long time about the JFK case, or they themselves have been deliberately misinformed for so long, that they no longer deserve ANY trust from the American people. And because of this pretty much EVERYTHING that the media, or the political class, or academia says ought to be treated with skepticism, if not outright distrust. Thank you, Mr. Krusch, for assembling an awesome defense of Lee Harvey Oswald, and for comprehensively destroying the case against him. It is overdue, but it is timely nonetheless. Dennis Wilkins I have read probably way more than fifty books about the JFK assassination, and almost without exception each book has a conspiracy to tout . . . A nice thing about Impossible: The Case Against Lee Harvey Oswald . . . is that author Barry Krusch doesn’t attempt to unravel the conspiracy. All he wants to do is to establish whether or not a case can be made against Oswald that could have been prosecuted. So in effect this is the very first book I’ve ever read where the author betrays no obvious bias in his treatment of the facts at hand. Krusch is concerned only with actual evidence and rigorous logic, not theories or speculations. When some speculating is necessary, though, he is careful to lay out all possibilities and discuss each in detail. I should state, though, that it is quite clear that he believes the case against Oswald will unravel, but that never gets in the way of his examination. In the end we have a book whose conclusions simply cannot be challenged by those who claim to defend the official story . . . I enjoyed this book a lot and I recommend it highly to both fanatics such as myself, who eagerly devour any new book that comes along, and also to newcomers, especially those who think there must be something to the “Oswald did it” theory because that idea is so ingrained in our media and our culture . . . Garry Puffer I’ve got a new hero: Barry Krusch! This might sound a bit strange, but one of the nice things about the JFK assassination is that, being 50 years ago now, it’s possible to employ humor in one’s argument without seeming tasteless. Barry Krusch is funny. That is one of the things that makes this book highly readable. But “make no mistake” as our politicians like to say: his wit does not detract from his savagely penetrating legal reasoning. What makes this book different from other JFK books I’ve read is its very strict adherence to courtroom-style defense of Lee Harvey Oswald, who, after all, we presume at the start to be innocent, as the law stipulates. Don’t we? Also, Krusch is a geek, so I’ve got an affinity with him there, being a database guy myself. This man scanned, indexed, and cross-referenced over 100 books on the Kennedy assassination to make a searchable master index, so when he wants to be sure he’s got a subject covered, he KNOWS he’s got it covered. So, take his thoroughness, his methodology, his sense of humor, and his rigorous adherence to the rule of law, and then sit back and enjoy his total deconstruction of the case against Lee Harvey Oswald (or lack thereof, as it plainly turns out). This is a devastating critique of the case against Oswald, revealing it incontrovertibly to be so flimsy as to be nonexistent . . . Johnny Nineball A brilliant painstaking thorough analysis and refutation of the Government conclusion that LHO shot JFK. Barry Krusch’s meticulous research leaves no stone unturned and proves once and for all at least to my understanding that the lone assassin theory is untenable and will not hold up in a court of law . . . Armand Herpe The basic question examined in these books is whether or not Oswald could have been convicted of murdering the President based upon the evidence presented. It’s written in a manner intended to translate this question and the “legalese” to a general audience . . . This is a body of research which many of us have sought for decades, a clear and concise and indisputable set of facts against a backdrop of legal evidentiary requirements. It isn’t a sensationalist shriekfest for beach reading, it’s an academic work made mainstream. David S. Jenkins There are essentially two kinds of books about the JFK murder. Those that focus on the forensics evidence of the gunshots and the medical evidence of the President’s body, and those which focus on the forces behind the murder and their motivations. Barry Krusch’s three volume set is about the former — and as the previous reviewer says, Krusch’s work will come to be seen as the Rosetta stone for all such forensic analysis. I would strongly urge anyone who wants proof positive that Oswald could 1) not have been convicted in a fair court; 2) could not have acted alone and 3) was almost certainly not even where he was alleged to have been, then you need to read Krusch’s books. I suggest you speed read the first eight chapters and the latter parts of volume 3. Everything in between is absolute gold, which leaves you with little doubt about why no one will ever take him up on his challenge. Before reading Krusch I confess I didn’t really know that much about the evidence. After reading it I was embarrassed to realize how obviously clear — and huge — the framing of Oswald was. Christine “Eddie” The author has taken meticulous care in attempting to present all pointed facts both pro and con, as if an attorney in the court room defending Mr. Oswald. Lee Harvey unfortunately, never got the chance to stand before a jury of his peers in an attempt to defend himself of the assassination of President John Kennedy. Instead Barry Krusch presents the case and blows away any thought of Mr. Oswald’s guilt. In the process he also destroys former Prosecutor, Vincent Bugliosi’s verbose book, “Reclaiming History” in the process! Impossible: The Case Against Lee Harvey Oswald is an engaging and thoughtful presentation which puts the reader in the position of being a virtual juror in trying to prove or disprove Lee Harvey Oswald’s guilt. As that juror, and with the facts presented, finally; you are faced with an obvious choice of “Acquittal”!! L. Douglas Stewart As a person who wants to know as much as possible regarding the FACTS of the JFK murder, I found this book to be a valuable resource. Not a rehash of the same old stuff, but a fresh look at what can (and cannot be) surmised thus far. Krusch presents his line of reasoning in a concise way, punctuated with excellent documentation. Phil Fischer This is by far the best book on the subject of the JFK assassination I have read thus far. It is meticulously logical, laying a clear foundation of legal requirements for finding a defendant guilty, and then applying the facts involved in this case to demonstrate the impossibility that a court could have convicted Oswald. Outstanding!!! Amazon Customer The mind-boggling facts behind the Kennedy Assassination are almost too awful and overwhelming to grasp, but this book makes them palatable through the use of humor and easy-to-understand explanations . . . Norma Desmond I found this book thought provoking and truely insightful. I couldn’t put it down! Heather Kowalski Mr. Krusch makes a remarkable and original effort of setting the inextricably complex matter of The Murder of the Century into a thorough and very much needed legal and logical framework. Just be reassured that the author does not simply debunk the case against Lee Harvey Oswald from a legal perspective barely raising a reasonable doubt about his guilt. He makes you sure that he actually didn’t commit the crime. You can find in his well-written and well-documented volumes the most complete and fair examination of the evidence I have met so far in a book about this topic.

Well written, well structured, great documentation . . . should see LN defenders twist . . . This is the piece by piece attack against the WR apologists I’ve be waiting for since Bugliosi’s paperweight . . . Steve Duffy Have read much on this subject over several decades; all too often a rehashing of dated material: same old — same old. This author has taken entirely new approach. He’s taken one discrete aspect and using logic — no, not what some might call “common sense”, the logic taught in philosophy classes and applied same to this particular aspect, rendering the final solution. This is almost always stated on the cover of nearly every writing concerning JFK, always incorrectly. Not this time!!! This is a “must” read and reread for full understanding. And there’s still time for enjoying author’s dry wit. You’ll not be disappointed! Joe Hartmann Barry Krusch’s Impossible: The Case Against Lee Harvey Oswald is an outstanding analytical examination of some of the key evidence relied upon by the Warren Commission to conclude that Lee Harvey Oswald was the assassin of President John F. Kennedy and that he alone had fired exactly 3 shots from the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository building on November 22, 1963. To state the overriding conclusion reached by this reader after considering Mr. Krusch’s precise and detailed examination of the evidentiary record contained in the Warren Report regarding issues such as the number of shell casings found at the scene, the number of shots fired, the location of the origin of the shots, the single bullet theory, and other issues arising from the Warren Report, I can only agree that this book was aptly titled . . . The book makes a very convincing case that the shell casings entered into evidence by the Warren Commission were not ones found in Dallas, and is persuasive that one and probably all of the (eventually) three shell casings, in addition to being virtually useless as admissible evidence in court, were false evidence, introduced into the “record” well after November 22. “Impossible” also is outstanding in its demolition of Arlen Specter’s strained and implausible “single bullet theory”. The book gives a straightforward presentation of actual testimony and documentation that was before the Warren Commission. Mr. Krusch boldly puts the onus where it belongs: demanding that those supporting the theory prove it. The facts and evidence, including the autopsy report do not support, let alone come close to proving, the single bullet theory . . . Barry Krusch’s Impossible: The Case Against Lee Harvey Oswald is significant, in comparison to many recent books about the JFK assassination because it is not filled with conjecture or speculation. There are no conspiracy theories here, or speculation about who was responsible. The strength of the book is its focus on the evidence before the Warren Commission, and its straight forward demonstration that it was not sufficient to prove Oswald’s guilt, not by a long shot . . . Mr. Krusch’s clear and concise writing style, his frequent utilization of photos, diagrams and other visual aids, coupled with his many direct quotations from Warren Report’s testimony and documents, result in a far more interesting and quickly readable book than one might expect when first considering the term “three volumes.” . . . Charles L. Keesey Nothing indicates what I think of a book as to how quickly I get thru it. That is simply a way of saying that I couldn’t put this one down. I have read many, many books on the Kennedy assassination over the years. To think that anyone believes the drivel that the government and its apologists put out simply means to me that they either haven’t bothered to look at the evidence or that they have some other ulterior motive. Barry’s book follows and charts changing government witness testimonies, revisions their ‘witnesses’ made to bullet trajectories and locations, contaminated evidence, breaks in the chain of evidence . . . for all to easily see and understand. Good job Barry. It really would have been wonderful to have seen someone defend Oswald, had he had lived, and blow the Warren Commission’s fairytale apart once and for all. H. Jeanson I have read all three volumes of this work. Volume One contains not only interesting information about the assassination, but also a detailed outline of the criteria the author uses to examine the facts. Absolutely recommended. Amazon Customer What a brilliant book! Barry Krusch has brought a new and fresh look at the attempts by authorities to make their case against Lee Oswald. “Impossible” is a perfect title, since nearly every attempt to make Oswald look like the sole assassin of JFK can be effectively refuted. Krusch goes to great lengths to show that the Dallas Police, the FBI and the Warren Commission were somewhere between deceptive and criminal in their attempt to distort, manipulate and fabricate evidence in this case. Of great importance here is Krusch’s detailed look at the original crime scene (6th floor of TSBD) and the distortions exhibited by the authorities, in particular the crucial mishandling of the shell casings found there. This is another important book in an impressive list of fair assessments of the facts in the case. I had the feeling while reading this book that Krusch was in front of a jury, presenting an effective defense of the accused. I pictured the jury, wide-eyed and impressed with his thorough and thought provoking examination of the evidence. “Impossible” Volume 1 is well written and at times quite entertaining. I will soon be digging in to Volume 2. Good job! Steven S. Airheart Contained within the 1000+ pages of Barry Krusch’s three volume work, is far more evidence of reasonable doubt in the case against Lee Harvey Oswald than would actually have been required for acquittal, had Oswald been afforded the opportunity to stand trial with the benefit of legal representation (rather than be murdered himself while in police custody less than 48 hours after his arrest). The book is not only supported by file photos, direct quotes from Warren Commission (and HSCA) testimony and multiple other sources, but these excerpts are most often reproduced as actual scans and screen captures from the original texts. What’s more, the volumes are extensively well referenced, allowing readers to verify the source materials for themselves. It would be difficult for me to imagine anyone reading (and fully understanding) all three volumes of Impossible: The Case Against Lee Harvey Oswald and still remain convinced of Oswald’s sole guilt in the murder of President John F Kennedy, even less of Oswald being convicted of this crime in a fair and impartial “innocent until proven guilty” trial with adversarial cross-examination, which is the key point Barry Krusch makes with this book. To those of you who are lone assassin theorists (and yes, you are also “theorists”), I urge you to read this book (all three volumes) and if you feel you still have evidence at your disposal beyond reasonable doubt that flatly contradicts the content presented by Barry Krusch, you might want to take him up on the $25,000 JFK Challenge, but I strongly doubt that anyone will actually dare to do so. After all, it would require incontrovertible evidence contrary to what’s been exhaustively researched, meticulously presented and extensively documented in the three volumes of this book . . . Peter Wall Fascinating discourse on how the case against Oswald would be a defense lawyer’s finest day . . . Robert L. Lamberg The first six chapters dig deep into all the legal ramifications of finding someone guilty. If all the legalese seems exhausting at times, don’t get discouraged. It’s just important to realize that calling someone “guilty” in a court of law is different than just being a Cable TV watching armchair judge, whose knee-jerk reaction is, after clutching their cigar in one hand and a six pack of National Bohemian in the other, “well, he looks like a creep, so he was probably guilty. I don’t believe in those conspiracy nuts.” *swig* *cough* *burp* Stuart Bentley After reading this book it is pretty clear that in a real court of law there would have been major difficulties convicting Oswald alone for the murder of JFK. And that is putting it mildly. To those that want to trash this book and its author, take a break and READ this book and the two follow up volumes. If you still feel strongly that the Warren report is truth and fact, then take Mr. Krusch’s challenge and cash in on the prize. Sounds like the only response so far to the challenge has been chirping crickets. KMS6 Impossible: The Case Against Lee Harvey Oswald (Volume One) should be considered, and in my opinion IS, THE preeminent study of the JFK assassination as seen through the lens of the law. I learned more from this first volume than I have from dozens of
