New Interview and Review by Simon Barrett of Bloggernews.net
Someone
Would Have Talked is a must read for anyone with an interest
in the events surrounding the murder of President Kennedy. As members
of this Forum might expect, Larry Hancock has done a remarkable
job, and his efforts have resulted in a classic examination of
events leading up to Kennedy's death and the ensuing cover-up.
Building on the research of Russell, Fonzi, Summers, Griggs, and many many
others, Larry has masterfully synthesized their research with much of his own.
The results are powerful, compelling, and represent a major step forward in
our understanding of the assassination.
I've yet to finish my second reading and this is not meant as a review, but
just some of my first impressions.
1) As anyone that is familiar with Larry and his research
knows, his
documentation is immaculate.
2) The summaries at the end of each chapter are most helpful.
3) Someone Would Have Talked is remarkably current.
It contains much new information.
4) Larry Hancock is a gifted critical thinker. Fortunately, he gives
the reader the benefit of his reasoned conclusions.
5) Larry points the way for future researchers. This may be one of
the most important facets of the book.
6) Someone Would Have Talked will endure as a useful reference
tool for many of the perplexing events surrounding JFK's death.
7) Importantly, the book reads well. Starting with John Martino, Larry
weaves a fascinating and convincing account of the roles of so many others.
8) Whenever possible, Larry has corroborated his evidence from multiple
sources.
9) There is a lot to absorb, yet Larry does an awesome job of tying
events together into a story that is not only believable, but compelling.
Larry, congratulations on this
edition of Someone Would Have Talked . I think you
deserve to be proud of your work. I'm certainly looking forward to
discussions on this Forum by the members, once SWHT is released.
Someone Would Have Talked is destined to take its place as a classic
work in the research of President Kennedy's murder. In my opinion, it
was well worth the wait.
Mike Hogan, JFK Assassination Researcher
"Larry Hancock is always the first
person I call to learn about the latest documents and discoveries,
especially those involving CIA anti-Castro operations and
mob associates like David Morales and John Martino. His
work continues to break new ground and
should be read by everyone interested in the JFK assassination."
Lamar Waldron, author of
Ultimate Sacrifice
There have been two official
U.S. Government investigations of the assassination of
President John F. Kennedy. The first resulted in the Warren
Commission Report. Rank with so many blatant distortions
and manipulations of the evidence, its conclusion that
Lee Harvey Oswald was the lone assassin quickly disintegrated
under objective scrutiny. But the Report's arrogant fallaciousness
seeded in the public's psyche a new
distrust of Government that would grow over the next decade into a trenchant
and sometimes fiery force in American history. An element in that force produced
enough political pressure for a new investigation and the subsequent formation
of the U.S. House Select Committee on Assassinations.
Congressionally mandated to "conduct a full and complete investigation" of
JFK's murder, the HSCA's priority was quickly castrated. The Committee was
intimidated and manipulated by the very government agencies it was investigating
and its final report emerged as misleading as the Warren Commission's. While
the HSCA report masked a truncated investigation, it also unavoidably left
slivers of light revealing certain areas of inquiry the Committee dared not
pursue. The forces governing the Committee knew
that pursuing leads in those areas would have opened doors it did not want
opened, doors marked with the names of operators and assets of the Government's
intelligence community. Now, with his experience and analytical acumen, Larry
Hancock has pushed wide those doors, naming names and detailing the culpable
conspiratorial associations. Among the most respected researchers of the JFK
assassination, Hancock has produced an awesomely comprehensive and impressive
work of compelling validity. A "must-read" in the field.

investigator for the U.S. House Committee on
