This important book throws additional light on the dark forces that subverted the political life of this republic.
Gerald McKnight, author of "Breach of Trust: How the Warren Commission Failed the
Nation and Why."

The thousands of primary source materials he uses paint a disturbing and compelling picture of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Making these documents available on his web site, Hancock invites the reader to look at the documents and reach their anyone would need to repeat his work and challenge his conclusions. Such intellectual courage is rare. This is a significant contribution to our nation’s historiography.

Once again Hancock opens doors that the CIA and FBI would prefer stay closed. By probing newly-released documents and bringing fresh witnesses to the fore, Hancock's tireless research conclusively proves there is still plenty we don't know about the perpetration and cover-up of the Kennedy assassination.
Dick Russell, Author of “The Man Who Knew Too Much” and "On the Trail of the JFK Assassins"

"Larry Hancock has uncovered important information about key players in the US covert war against Castro who also had ties to JFK’s assassination. Always on top of the latest developments in the field, this new edition is essential reading."
Lamar Waldron, Author of Ultimate Sacrifice and Legacy of Doubt

"Larry Hancock has put countless hours into the study of the files made available under the JFK Records Act, and it was worth the effort. His wide-ranging document-based research, coupled with Larry's practical skepticism and an eye for detail, makes this book an invaluable guide to making sense of Dallas."
Rex Bradford, Mary Ferrell Foundation

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.

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.
