Sole Assassin of President Kennedy, or the "Fall Guy" for a Conspiracy? Or Something Else? This Updated Edition with Added Material Provides New Answers. 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. In The Oswald Puzzle, experienced researchers Larry Hancock (Someone Would Have Talked, Tipping Point) and David Boylan square the circle. Taking full measure of the same data that the Warren Commission collected, the authors paint a contrarian picture of Oswald, a man who may surprise you. And then, using their expertise and new revelations about the extent to which CIA officers were aware of Oswald's activities months before the assassination, they explore how the CIA itself was preparing to use Oswald in a "black" propaganda campaign as well as how Oswald’s own Cuba agenda was used to maneuver and ultimately set him up as the perfect patsy—pointing the assassination toward the Castro regime. Did members of a special team organized to kill Fidel Castro turn against President Kennedy and sacrifice Oswald in an effort to take down Castro as well? Hancock and Boylan, in considerable detail, make a case for just that in a scenario that 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? The Oswald Puzzle provides new answers.
