When people find out what I do for a living, the conversation quickly turns to books. At the doctor's office today, I gave three recommendations to the physician's assistant. At my water aerobics class yesterday, I shared what I thought a friend might like to read next after she noted what she is reading now. 

What constantly amazes me is that in this world where there are influencers and social media, nothing seems to count more than someone you trust saying, “I think you would like to read this.” Also, it never fails to surprise me when I think that certain books already are on the radar of “everyone,” but then I start talking to people and even big bestsellers are not well known.

Kaitlyn Tiffany, author of The Housewives Underground: The Untold Story of the Women Who Made the JFK Assassination Our Most Enduring Mystery

In the winter of 1967, the official account of the Kennedy assassination was beginning to unravel. A scattered group of Americans had pointed to major problems with the report prepared by President Johnson’s handpicked Warren Commission. Many of the most serious criticisms of the government’s work came from a source that surprised some: women who, within the community of critics, outnumbered the men two to one. Politicians and reporters dismissed these women, referring to them as “scavengers” and suggesting they were eccentrics with murder-mystery fixations or crushes on the deceased President Kennedy. But Kaitlyn Tiffany resurrects the story of Maggie Field, Shirley Martin and Sylvia Meagher, whose collaboration and friendship reshaped both their own lives and our national memory.
