Unredacted: Interviews on the JFK Assassination

These are a series of interviews with authors and researchers on the assassination of JFK. I came across these on my new favorite site for research on the JFK assassination, Mary Farrell. If you're interested, these are very good discussions of various aspects of the assassination and these authors books are great reads. I haven't read all of them, but I have read A Farewell to Justice - Joan Mellen, and Someone Would Have Talked - Larry Hancock is on the top of my reading list and I've heard great things about it.
