As discussed during this oral history, Jacob Carter's book, Before History Dies (2015), notably collects interviews with a wide variety of Kennedy assassination researchers, representing both sides of the ongoing debate over Lee Harvey Oswald as the lone gunman versus a conspiracy. Intended as a primer for younger people born long after the Kennedy assassination, it includes interviews with several authors and researchers who have also recorded oral histories with The Sixth Floor Museum over the years: Max Holland, John McAdams, Jefferson Morley, Dale Myers, Gerald Posner, David Talbot and Parkland Hospital physician Dr. Robert N. McClelland. Subsequent to this 2016 oral history, Carter published a follow-up book, The Table of Truth: An Autopsy of the JFK Research Community (2018). Both books are in the Museum's Library Collection: Bibliovation | Catalog Search Results. - Stephen Fagin, Curator
