My new book, "Into the Nightmare"

[Joseph McBride]

I hope you and others appreciate the
search I have made into why my candidate was killed (a shattering event
that made me recreate myself and change my aspirations from politics to writing) and the many discoveries I have made along the way.

Word comes today that my copy of your book has been dispatched. It will jump to Number One position on the tower of tomes next to my bed (above the new novels by le Carré and McCarry).

As a writer (short and long prose fiction and drama for the small and large screens) I value beyond measure the application of the artist's sensibilities to our shared quests for truth and justice.

(As an aside: When asked why he had not chosen to write about the JFK assassination, le Carré responded simply, "It's too difficult.")

I eagerly anticipate gaining appreciations of your search and the manners in which you choose to describe it.

Thanks so much for your kind words, Charles.
