police and, after'being interrogated, was committed to solitary
confinement for psychiatric examination. It was only as a result
of the intervention of his relatives that he was released. However,
the police issued a warrant for the author's arrest and Josten was
forced to leave Switzerland. "Couldn't it be," the Swiss newspaper-
Voix Ourvrier asks, "that he was arrested because he also knows

that you will first have to learn German to do so. For we are dealing with
a book which is the only one of those which have over been published any-
where in which the author not only points out the obvious absurdity, the
blatant falsity, the numerous distortions and omissions,.:and all the
irreconcilable contradictions of the report of the Warren Commission, but
also advances a very plausible version of what actually happened in Dallas
on 22 November 1963.
Actually, this is what happened there:..Oswald, a shady personality,
but a person who was not guilty of the murders foisted on him by the
Dallas police, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and, finally, the
Warren Commission, was simply a previously selected scapegoat for an
