Anthony Thorne Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Sad news. His book was very good, and I was glad he wrote it. Rest In Peace Gerald. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vince Palamara Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Sorry to hear this. I have uploaded a whole bunch of videos from the 1980's-1990's and it is alarming just how many witnesses and authors have left us. Nothing unusual, per se (after all, that is the scheme of life and death), but still eye-opening just how much time is not a friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawrence Schnapf Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 sorry to hear this. i spoke with him in 2017 during preparation of the CAPA mock trial. His book was an important contribution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James DiEugenio Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Here is the notice at the AARC. I still think Breach of Trust is one of the best books ever on the JFK case. https://aarclibrary.org/professor-gerald-d-mcknight-author-of-breach-of-trust-how-the-warren-commission-failed-the-nation-and-why-has-died/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly along with Meagher the best book critique on the W.C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Murr Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 This is indeed sad news. I had the pleasure of meeting Gerald at Harold Weisberg's home during one of my excursions to the National Archives in the late 1990's. To echo sentiments previously mentioned in this thread, "Breach Of Trust" will long stand as one of the great works dealing with the Warren Commission.
