The hard evidence is for a lone gunman. Also, the conspiracy theories usually don't look closely at Oswald's murder of Officer J.D. Tippit, which is the rosetta stone of the case. http://www.amazon.com/Case-Closed-Gerald-Posner/dp/1400034620/ref=sr_1_3?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1414167452&sr=1-3&keywords=case+closed
Lee Harvey Oswald. There is actually plenty of clear evidence that Oswald was the one responsible, and almost no credible evidence that anyone other than Oswald was responsible or involved. And while there might be a lack of public consensus as to JFK's death, there is an almost completely universal consensus on this point among actual academic historians. If you're interested in separating the pop-culture conspiracy bullshit from actual historical evidence, there are two books I can recommend that will leave you with pretty much zero doubt as to what the evidence suggests: Gerald Posner's Case Closed, and Vincent Bulgosi's Reclaiming History.

Communists are invested in the idea of violent revolution, so yes.

Loved how one of the guys brought up the Posner book. That did it for me as well. Hits every major theory head on and goes into great historical detail.

I still have all my books from that class, and it was a decade ago! Keep in mind that many are rather dry because they're from a historical detail standpoint versus something Dan Brown would write (but the professor was just amazing and made it so interesting).
The Lincoln Murder Conspiracies
Case Closed: Lee Harvey Oswald and the Assassination of JFK. We did a bit of critiquing of the author here as well.
Conspiracy Theories: Secrecy and Power in American Culture. Looks like there's a newer edition that has 9/11, but this one covered conspiracies
The Paranoid Style in American Politics
As far as what I'd recommend, the first two are probably the most engaging, especially the JFK one. I also enjoyed the third one, mostly because it had a little bit about everything, including a conspiracy about Fox Mulder from X-Files and I love that show haha
I believe Oswald acted alone.
See Case Closed for an extensive debunking of alternative theories.
And any conspiracy leaning people here doubting Oswald should read [Case Closed] (https://www.amazon.com/Case-Closed-Gerald-Posner/dp/1400034620/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1466199361&sr=1-1&keywords=case+closed)
