Thank you for taking the work of John Armstrong on Two Oswalds so seriously in your new book. Into the Nightmare is getting the kind of press most of us--especially John Armstrong and me--just dream of.
The two Oswald theory is an incredibly hard sell, and I should know. Since 1999, I've run the Harvey and Lee website about John's work. Recently, John took an interest in developing it more fully and now it is much improved. If anyone asks you about his work, I wonder if you could give them the website address, which is:
harveyandlee.net
It might be a more convenient introduction than John's book. Thank you for all your work on this subject that troubles all of us here so much.

Jim, Thanks for your good words. As INTO THE NIGHTMARE shows, I am an admirer of John Armstrong's HARVEY & LEE; its research is so thorough
that it finally convinced me there were two Oswalds, a theory about which I had been an agnostic. I think anyone who
reads the book with an open mind can hardly fail to be convinced of that basic thesis, even if some incidents
may have other explanations and even though I differ with HARVEY & LEE on some points (e.g., I don't believe either Oswald killed Tippit). One of
Armstrong's greatest achievements is following the dubious paper trail on the rifle
and the pistol the Warren Commission claimed were used by Oswald and convincing the reader that Oswald did not own either weapon. The book is a remarkable achievement in so many ways. I am glad it is back on sale. The documents
online are valuable reference tools as well.
