But this book is wild to me, and a clear example of pre programming, cia involvement in jfks assignation, or plans to use Lee Harvey Oswald as a patsy.   
  
the book written about lee harvey oswald prior to the assassination

The only book written about Lee Harvey Oswald prior to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy is "The Idle Warriors" by Kerry W. Thornley.

About the Book: Thornley was a fellow Marine who served with Oswald in the Far East. Between 1959 and 1961, he wrote this novel based on his experiences with Oswald, who was a Marine who had defected to the Soviet Union.

Publication Context: While written in 1962, the novel was not published until 1965, but it remains the only manuscript depicting Oswald before he was accused of the assassination. The book provides insight into the mind of the man who would later be linked to the crime, through a fictionalized character named Johnny Shellburn.

Post-Assassination Note: Kerry Thornley later testified before the Warren Commission and became a vocal figure in the assassination research community, often arguing that Oswald was a "patsy".

Another, later-published work based on pre-assassination, firsthand knowledge is "Lee Harvey Oswald as I Knew Him" by George de Mohrenschildt, which was written after the fact (1969-1977) but focused on his acquaintance with the Oswalds in 1962–1963.   
  
Seems logical right? Some fellow marine decides to write a book about his fellow marine who at the time was virtually a nobody with no particularly interesting reasons to be the subject of some ones novel. Basically a pre biography
