The Umbrella Man and Other Stories: What We Talk About When We Talk About the JFK Assassination with Martin Fitzgerald

This is not a book about conspiracies or a lone gunman. This is a book about memory, about how we construct our shared history, and about what happens when your life is defined by a single, fleeting moment. It’s about a group of real people who opted out of the main event before John F. Kennedy was assassinated, only to find themselves accidental witnesses to the most scrutinised six seconds of the twentieth century.

Join Martin as he talks about his book – written at Bromley House Library – as he shares  some of the stories and research he has gathered for his brilliant  investigative work.
