Over the next three modules you will learn about Lee Harvey Oswald’s life before the assassination, from his turbulent childhood through his defection to Russia, troubled marriage, and erratic return to the United States. Taken in total, these three modules allow you to see where Lee Harvey was and with whom at different times in his life. During this and the following two modules, keep in mind this critical question: Given the opportunity, does Lee Harvey Oswald seem like the type of person who would try to assassinate the President of the United States?
