20 Minute History is extremely excited to welcome historian William Deverell to the show! Professor Deverell is a member of the history faculty at the University of Southern California, as well as the director of the Huntington-USC Institute on California and the West. Among other things, he is an expert on the tragic events surrounding Kathy Fiscus, the very same events that we covered in our eighth episode of Season 1. His work was absolutely instrumental to the writing of that episode, and his new book Kathy Fiscus: A Tragedy That Transfixed the Nation is the culmination of that work, as vivid as it is thought-provoking. So today, David sits down with Professor Deverell to discuss the experience of writing the book, break down his own personal connection to Kathy, and dive deep into an analysis of the tragedy and its aftermath.
