Publisher's summary

This audiobook is the story of two men who began an odyssey together that became a thread, which when unraveled, reveals how Cold War paranoia escalated into the death of a president.

Robert Edward Webster and Lee Harvey Oswald were manipulated like marionettes on strings of espionage. Unraveling these strings (or threads) may lead us to the puppeteers controlling them.

Were these "controllers" orchestrating a series of events that would lead to JFK's assassination?

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Really interesting; too many mispronunciations

The book itself is really interesting, even after reading dozens of other JFK assassination books. But the significant number of proper place/name mispronunciations is distracting. (In at least one case, a name is pronounced in different ways in different chapters.)

You gotta be really hungry for new JFK Tidbits

You gotta be a patient person; especially if you were of age when all the characters were alive. Names, Places, are butchered by narrator. But he had no voice irritations as some have. At least he didn’t try to imitate voices like the narrator of one of the absolutely, very best books ever written about the Brothers Kennedy. I learned a few new things in each chapter. That’s about all that I didn’t already know about JFK, his life & his murder in our nation’s Coup d’ètat

Mostly rehash, not much new here

Overall- mostly rehashing stuff already covered very thoroughly that we didn’t need to hear one more time- mkultra, Hemming, the Raleigh call, the Mary’s monkey thing, some of it already debunked, etc. very little new material. One gets the feeling that the author listened to a bunch of Black Ops Radio episodes.
Performance- ok, except for numerous peculiar mispronunciations such as ‘Dulls’ for ‘Dulles’. One wonders why no one bothered to correct them.
Story- if you take the good parts, namely the ‘Webster’ bits, separate from the rehashing, you’d have a decent little contribution to the research. It’s great to have a comparison of the Chicago, Miami, Dallas routes and players and defectors. Those are tangible elements, not speculation, unlike the unfortunate mkultra section.
The Nags Head ONI defector program has been long overdue for investigation, sadly nothing is added here.
The author touches briefly on Mark Lane being compromised, which is so often overlooked.
I could have done without the modern references to pop culture, such as ‘Stranger Things’ etc. it’s awkward and will not age well.
