Book Review: A Shadow History of a Half Century
Summary: 5 Stars
Larry Hancock's latest book is a must-buy for anyone looking for a credible guide to the new primary source material only recently available. After searching for a used copy of the first edition of this excellent book (out of print for several years), I finally gave up. The CD provided with the initial book was a hugh bonus, because it contained a trove of hard to find primary source material that I did not have the time or resource to locate. Well, the book is now released in its second edition, and is updated with more recent material. It is impossible for most of us to read and absorb the volume of material made available. Larry Hancock has done a masterful job of sifting through this material for us, working with many of the most credible, often unsung, researchers.
Even those who have read virtually everything about the Kennedy assassination over the years will find that they have been looking at individual fragments of a complex shattered mosaic that has resisted most efforts to fit all the pieces together in a rational way. The welcome release of a blizzard of paper over the past few years has made it even more difficult for those of us who try to stay current and separate rumor from fact. In this book, Larry Hancock displays a fluency with the sources that is remarkable. He has done a remarkable job of synthesis; connecting fragments of the multitude of assassination theories and characters into a credible web of intersecting agendas and characters. This book has the flavor of James Ellroy's LA Quartet with a cast of real characters that rival LeCarre's George Smiley (Harvey and Angleton, to name just two). Fans of espionage fact and fiction, true crime, and dark noir will love this book, regardless of your interest in the assassination itself. Certainly a great gift for those 'hard to buy for' crime or history buffs.
For those of us looking for a credible weighing of new aspects of the case that have resulted from the AARB and other newly released documents, Larry does not disappoint. His chapters re-examining the little known story of John Martino in detail, the strange life and death of Richard Case Nagell, and the tragic case of Rose Cheramie are updated with much new material that will be valuable in setting the record straight. His tracing of the CIA characters intersecting careers in several excellent appendices is compelling. this book's focus on John Martino sets it apart from the rest of the canon. If you think you are well informed about the case already, this book is one of the few that holds some genuine surprises. An in-depth update of the latest twists and turns in the case we just can't forget.
Well written, literate, credible...this isn't a sensational book about "explosive new evidence", it is like having a knowledgeable guide to a strange landscape who can point out the pitfalls and challenges, give us a new map, and challenge us to follow paths that few have trod. Buy this book and watch Larry shine a light on some very dark places.
