The Patsy

The Story of Lee & Harvey Oswald

A covert intelligence operation. Two identical teenagers. One goal.

It was a program conceived in secret by a group of men. Some were doctors; others were military officers and government officials—all with top-secret security clearances. They called it the Similar Likeness Project, and it would serve as the foundation for an enigma that would soon become one of the greatest mysteries in history.

The project’s carefully curated children would be secret weapons—trained, assessed, and groomed to perfection. If they were needed for a mission, they would be brought into the fold. If not, they would live a normal life without even knowing the difference.

That’s where we came in. Two teenagers who had parallel but separate lives. Lives that were made up of a series of missions. Lives that were never really our own. Every mission took us one step closer to our purpose—a purpose we had believed to be for the greater good: To serve our country and protect it. No questions asked.
