Who is Lee Harvey Oswald? Biography,
If someone said that Lee Oswald would one day assassinate as President of the United States, it was probably said as a joke based on Lee Harvey’s personality as a child. As a child while growing up in New Orleans, Louisiana, Oswald was considered a loner with anger issues as a child. A particularly interesting case dates back to 1952, when his mother transferred him to New York. Oswald allegedly pulled a knife on his mother after hitting her during an argument; he was 12 at the time.
Oswald’s parents were Robert Lee Oswald and Marguerite Frances Claverie. Some believe that Oswald’s anger and behavioral issues were side effects of growing up without his father, who died two months after he was born. If so, it was lasting damage, as he had been diagnosed with “a personality pattern disturbance with schizoid characteristics and passive-aggressive tendencies.”
Despite his behavioral issues, Oswald was never a stupid kid. Although he had spelling problems, he was a lively book reader. He identified himself as a Marxist after burning several socialist literary works.
He never finished high school, but by the time he joined the Marines at age 17, he had attended 12 schools and lived in 22 different places. Some historians and psychologists are of the opinion that the instability of his life may also have contributed to the quality of his person.
One would have expected that a man with his psychological profile would not be allowed to join a military unit, but it was a time of war and high tension between countries around the world with America in the lead. vanguard and so, Oswald was drafted on October 24, 1956, to the Marine Corps at the age of 17.
His time in the Marines began in impressive fashion, as he finished in the top percentile of his class and gained security clearance for high-level military operations. He was even considered one of the best marksmen during his early years as a Marine. His trouble-free time, however, did not last long and after a series of offenses including a shooting in the elbow, he was brought before a court-martial. Oswald never forgot the socialist teachings of his early reading days, and after doing enough work in the Navy, he applied for a discharge for difficulties in later traveling to the Soviet Union.
With some effort, including cutting off his own wrist to convince his guide that he was serious, Oswald was eventually made a citizen of the Soviet Union. He lived in Minsk and met his wife, Marina Prusakova in March 1961. Soon after, he returned to the United States with his wife and two children.
Before killing John F. Kennedy, Oswald had attempted to attack Edwin Walker, a retired American major general who was anti-Communist. Just months after his attempt on Edwin Walker, Oswald was preparing for his swansong. On November 22, 1963, he shot dead John F. Kennedy. It was the culmination of everything that had happened in the life of Lee Harvey Oswald.
Woman, children
Even psychopaths go through the motions of manlife. Lee Harvey Oswald married Marina Nikolayevna Prusakova in 1961, aged 19, after six weeks of dating. She was a pharmacist and she came back to live in the United States with Lee Harvey. She had two daughters – June Lee Oswald and Audrey Marina Rachael Oswald – with Lee Harvey.
Who killed Lee Harvey Oswald and why?
After assassinating John Kennedy and Lee was confirmed as the prime suspect. He was shot as he was being driven to a car that was supposed to take him to a county jail. Jack Ruby, a local nightclub operator, was shot in the stomach. The motive for Jack shooting Lee instead of letting him through to court is among countless conspiracy theories about the events of November 1963, but the man, Jack himself, insisted he simply wanted to save Kennedy’s widow from the trouble of a trial.
