The JFK assassination: Oswald’s second murder
History's Greatest Conspiracy Theories
Tuesday, 11 February 2025 - 32 minutes
In light of the recent announcement that President Trump has ordered the release of classified files surrounding JFK’s assassination, we’re bringing you three episodes delving into the case. In this third episode, recorded in April 2024, Rob Attar puts more listeners’ questions about the assassination to author and journalist Gerald Posner. Who did Lyndon Johnson think was behind the murder? Why do so many people believe in a conspiracy theory? And why is Lee Harvey Oswald’s other killing rarely discussed?
History’s Greatest Conspiracy Theories is produced by the team behind BBC History Magazine.
