The Oswald Project, Part One: From Russia With Love | CIA

A new season of True Spies kicks off with Daisy Ridley as the Narrator and Edward Norton as Lee Harvey Oswald - the alleged assassin behind the killing of President John F Kennedy. The Oswald Project tells the shocking story of Oswald and his relationship with the CIA. Was he being trained by the Agency to become a KGB double-agent – or to take the fall for JFK's murder? Was he, as he claimed just before his own assassination, “a patsy”? Featuring expert insight from Professor John Newman and investigative journalist Jefferson Morley, and making use of Oswald's own private writings, you'll discover a new perspective on history's most famous whodunnit. In Part One, we explore Oswald's complex connections to intelligence services on both sides of the Cold War. From SPYSCAPE, the home of secrets. A Cup And Nuzzle production. Series producers: Gemma Newby, Joe Foley. Produced by Justin Trefgarne. Music by Nick Ryan. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
