Kind of a big juks a position of what he went into coming from a place called quiet dale. He was born in 1923 and in 1945 he received the medal of honor. So he was just a young man. So im sure woody will share his story with you. I dont need to tell you what hes going to tell you. So without further ado, woody williams. Thank you. [ applause ] thank you. Thank you. Thank you for that nice welcome. Wow. Thank all of you for coming today. I dont know that ive ever spoken to a larger group than we have here today. So thank you. Today is a day important in my life. I dont know that its any more important than the 70th or the 73rd when we had an opportunity to go back to iwo jima for a visit. It naturally brought back a lot of memories. Some good, some bad.

And im sure most of you know georges byline very wellin the atlantic now and new yorker before that for a decade or two. Fifteen years. You probably know his most recent book the assassins is the most important chronicle of the early years of the iraq war, the unwinding which won the National Book award in 2014 2030. And now his new book, our man we were thrilled to have an expert in Foreign Affairs in this issue and focusing on two pieces of the book of enoch and afghanistan which we will talk about in the course of this conversation but i recommend the piece heartily not as a substitute for the book but as a teaser. Im confident if you read the 8000 words in Foreign Affairs will go on to read the entire 500 or so pages in the hardcover edition. It is a really extraordinary fascinating book.

Would meet the authors of dallas in 1963 step two. Steves a curator at texas state university. Hes the author several other books including the literary outlaws. Those on a professor of journalism at the university of texas at austin. Ive read a couple recent interviews. When you are in and pr can you describe in the early 60s dallas could become the most singular city on planet earth. I was wondering if you could start by explaining what he meant by that. Sure. I think im a little biased to speak in such broad terms as he wrote a book about dallas called a substitute. In the years prior to the assassination, it seemed like there is no other place like that cd, certainly in america. But we had better wear a handful of people who lived above the cloud and who are forming a confederacy really is antikennedy fervor. Another french.
