Author and researcher Brian Edwards joins S.T. Patrick to discuss Dealey Plaza as the site of a tactical operation, and then the witness testimony of Ed Hoffman. Edwards is singularly unique in discussing both topics. He was a former law enforcement officer and trainer, and he has over ten years of counter assault experience. When he looks at Dealey Plaza, he looks at it as more of a tactical operations site than a historical landmark. On this episode, he discusses Dealey Plaza as such a site. How would the perfect operation in Dealey be performed? What are the risks? How can the risks be overcome? How many personnel would be required? Where would the personnel be located? Edwards was also the co-author, with Casey Quinlan, of the book Beyond the Fence Line: The Eyewitness Account of Ed Hoffman and the Murder of President Kennedy. Brian Edwards is the co-founder of Project JFK. Get our archives for FREE at www.MidnightWriterNews.com

Author, Film Historian, and JFK assassination researcher Joseph McBride joins S.T. Patrick to discuss his newest book, Frankly: Unmasking Frank Capra. The book is about the "Kafkaesque" journey McBride endured in trying to publish a truthful biography of director Frank Capra (1992's Frank Capra: The Catastrophe of Success). Its an illustrative story about what it's like to try to do truthful history in a time where Americans still prefer a sterilized patriotic mythology to a more difficult truth. While working on the Capra bio in 1985, McBride also made an interesting discovery about George H.W. Bush. This discovery would lead to 35 pages of McBride's seminal work on the Kennedy assassination, Into the Nightmare, as well as the first chapter of Russ Baker's Family of Secrets. In this episode, McBride tells the story of that discovery and discusses its meaning. He also discusses his role as an actor in Orson Welles's The Other Side of the Wind, which is ow available on Netflix. Joseph McBride was an amazing guest and this is a story that everyone who cares about the future of non-fiction writing at all should hear!Go to MidnightWriterNews.com for our FREE archives!
