In a very special episode I'm joined by Martin Fitzgerald to catch up on JFK again, and talk about his new book "The Umbrella Man and Other Stories: What We Talk About When We Talk About the JFK Assassination", an incredible and fascinating book that you should all buy. We talk about everything that happened in Dallas on 22nd November 1963 in Dealey Plaza. "This is not a book about who killed John F. Kennedy or why he was assassinated. This is a book about memory, how we construct our shared history and what happens when your life is defined by a single, fleeting moment. It’s a celebration of human nature, of the joy of research and the freedom of an open mind. Above all, it reveals the stories of a group of real people who thought they had opted out of the main event on the day JFK came to Dallas, only to find themselves at the centre of the most scrutinised six seconds of the twentieth century."
