Don DeLillo's extraordinary Libra is a brilliant reimagining of the events and people
surrounding the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Concentrating on the lives of Lee
Harvey Oswald some rogue former spooks unhappy with Kennedy's presidency and Nicholas Branch
a CIA archivist trying to make sense of or draw inferences from the mass of information after
the assassination Libra presents an unapologeticly provocative picture of America in the
second half of the last century.
