Oswald Thornley, Kerry; Albert Ellis [Introduction] Biography,Counterculture,Politics

First edition. 126, [2] pp. with 8 pages of b/w photos in middle of book. Bound in publisher's wraps. Very Good+ with subtle creasing to spine, light wear. An ephemeral "lone nutter" work about the assassination of John F. Kennedy published in its wake that incorporates a novel ostensibly written about the accused assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald, while he was still a teenage crypto-Marxist in the Marines: The Idle Warriors. New Orleans district attorney Jim Garrison would chase down the author in his investigation into conspiracy and cover-up in the assassination, which was recounted in the Oliver Stone film JFK. To this day, like so many facets of the JFK assassination mythos, opinion is sharply divided about Thornley's motivations and the accuracy of Garrison's probe. Thornley would go on to co-found the joke religion of Discordianism and be active in the libertarian right.
