Oswald thought he had ventured to the Soviet Union in the service of some ideology or cause, but that was a lie he told himself.

He thought that he wanted to do battle with the capitalists. "In the event of a war, I would kill any American who put a uniform on in defense of the American government," he wrote to his brother—but the security organs knew what he really wanted.
