WILLIAM ALSUP is a senior United States District Judge of the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. Born in Jackson, Mississippi, Alsup received a Bachelor of Science degree in mathematics from Mississippi State University in 1967, a Juris Doctor from Harvard Law School in 1971, and a Master of Public Policy from Harvard University's John F. Kennedy School of Government in 1971.

I covered that awful weekend in Dallas and always wondered what we would have learned if Oswald had lived to stand trial. Well, William Alsup has managed to make that happen. Using years of meticulous research, he not only brings Oswald into court—he brings in the late and legendary lawyer Percy Foreman to defend him. The result is a dramatic, fast-moving story as informative as it is compelling. No conspiracy theories here; the evidence against him is all based on fact and the defense Foreman presents is fascinating. This is a serious book that could only have come from a veteran jurist like Alsup. The bonus is it’s also a great read.
