Author Fred Rosen and the great, great grandson of former President James Garfield Hank Garfield join Ed to discuss Rosen's book Murdering the President: Alexander Graham Bell and the Race to Save James Garfield.  Another revealing interview!  Both Fred and Hank discuss how they became friends, the years of work that went into the writing of the book and the secrets they uncovered along the way.

Many historical facts are bared as lies as the trio discuss Garfield's purported assassin, the doctor that treated him, the true cause of the President's death, and the role that Alexander Graham Bell played following the shooting of Garfield.  The assassination of Lincoln is also discussed - did you know that John Wilkes Booth was the matinee idol of the day?  Imagine George Clooney shooting Obama!

A must listen - check the Opperman Report store for an Amazon link to the book!
