The Wilderness of Mirrors

  • Summary

  • What did Oswald mean when he uttered the now-famous words “I’m just a Patsy!”, just hours before he was murdered? To begin to understand what those words mean, we step into the ‘Wilderness of Mirrors’ to see the world of counterintelligence through the eyes of James Jesus Angleton – a man known as “The Poet Spy.” In the Wilderness, confusion is a key weapon. We’ll trace Oswald’s steps from his return from the Soviet Union to his activities in New Orleans in the summer of 1963.

The interviews and format.

The information relayed was excellent. I would like to have heard more information by the experts and less conjecture.

How deep the rabbit hole goes

So much I did not know. It’s all explained so you can understand. Once you start, you won’t want to stop.

excellent historical accuracy

I loved every second of this project! Gripping, yet very disturbing that this happened in America.

hooked from the start

Highly recommend for anyone looking for thought-provoking content related to JFK. James Ellroy American Tabloid is the perfect complement to this podcast for a historical fiction point of view.

Interesting and thought provoking

A friend recommended this podcast after listening to another historical podcast about JFK. I'm not one for conspiracy theories but I'm enjoying the facts brought up and they are thought provoking
