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.
