Man of a Million Fragments: The True Story of Clay Shaw
In my biography of Clay Shaw, entitled Man of a Million Fragments: The True Story of Clay Shaw, I discussed Shaw's life from start to finish in broad detail. The Jim Garrison investigation is largely considered to be discredited, although it has been resurrected here and there over the years.
However, it is still quite surprising how often Clay Shaw's name still comes up in conspiracy theories. Even among those who dismiss Jim Garrison's investigation overall, there seems still to be an underlying belief that Shaw must have had some involvement, however mysterious and unresolved, either in the assassination, or in "handling" Oswald during his time back in the United States after his return from the Soviet Union. The feeling is there, if the facts are often murky or missing.
My book should give the broadest possible canvas for those researching any role Shaw may have had, as it details numerous sources never before developed or written about. It can clearly be used in both directions, and has been.
