Or Something Else?\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Among the many enigmas in the saga of the Kennedy assassination, Lee Harvey Oswald remains among the most enigmatic. The Warren Commission painted a portrait of a lone malcontent, but still could find no motive for his alleged actions. Some conspiracy books attempt to turn Oswald into a deep cover intelligence agent, always on assignment whether defecting to the Soviet Union or distributing pro-Castro pamphlets. Other authors ignore Oswald altogether. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In\u003ci\u003e The Oswald Puzzle\u003c\/i\u003e, experienced researchers Larry Hancock (Someone Would Have Talked, Tipping Point) and David Boylan square the circle. Taking the full measure of the same data the Warren Commission collected, they paint a contrarian picture of Oswald, a man that may surprise you. And then, using their expertise and the vast declassified records now available, they tell the story of how Oswald appeared on the radar of fervent anti-Castro activists in New Orleans in 1963, and how he was then turned into their pawn. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Hancock and Boylan, in considerable detail, provide a scenario which reconciles Oswald's actual history and character with the massive evidence of conspiracy in the assassination of President Kennedy. Has the puzzle of Lee Harvey Oswald finally been solved? Was Oswald a murderer or a patsy? \u003ci\u003eThe Oswald Puzzle\u003c\/i\u003e provides new answers. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLarry Hancock\u003c\/b\u003e brings his formal training in history and cultural anthropology to his research and writing on Cold War history and national security subjects.
