The Man Who Knew Too Much: Richard Case Nagell
The Man Who Knew Too Much Richard Case Nagell Author:Dick Russell Hired to Kill Oswald and Prevent the Assassination of JFK Richard Case Nagell Is The Man Who Knew Too Much — With painstaking care, Dick Russell reconstructs the strange life of Richard Case Nagell, a former member of a super-secret army intelligence unit who was the sole survivor of two air crashers, a contract agent for both the CIA a... more »nd the KGB, and a man whose life kept intersecting with Lee Harvey Oswald's. Nagell, utilized by both the CIA and the KGB to keep tabs on Oswald (who himself worked both sides of the street), was ultimately prodded by the Russians to head Oswald away from his role in the Dallas plot (one of at least three to kill JFK in 1963). If Nagell failed to dissuade Oswald, he was to kill him. Nagell, bewildered and unsure who was in control, lost his nerve, warned the CIA and FBI of the impending disaster, then had himself arrested by discharging a gun harmlessly in a Texas bank a month before the president was assassinated. He spent years in jail, while lawyers wrangled over his sanity. At the time of this book's publishing, Nagell was still alive, his silence bought by a generous military pension.« less
