Description: "Jack Ruby changed history with one bold, violent action: killing accused presidential assassin Lee Harvey Oswald on live TV two days after the November 22, 1963, murder of President John F. Kennedy. But who was Jack Ruby--and how did he come to be in that spot on that day?"--
Review Quotes: "With this book, Danny Fingeroth takes us down into the depths of one of the biggest mysteries in the history of modern American politics, and pulls back the curtain--as much as anyone can--on one of the story's most mysterious figures. Why did Jack Ruby do what he did? Well, that's the story--and Fingeroth brilliantly takes us through a dazzling array of twists, turns, and possible motivations in telling it, in all its labyrinthine complexity." --Jeremy Dauber, author of Mel Brooks: Disobedient Jew
"A miraculous achievement. Danny Fingeroth has transformed Jack Ruby's legacy from a ten-second film clip into to a three-dimensional portrait of a warm-blooded human being. If you don't read this book, you don't know Jack." --Michael Benson, author of Gangsters vs. Nazis and Who's Who in the JFK Assassination
