Ebook About An in-depth look at one of the twentieth century's star reporters and his biggest story.Thanks to one reporter’s skill, we can fix the exact moment on November 22, 1963 when the world stopped and held its breath: At 12:34 p.m. Central Time, UPI White House reporter Merriman Smith broke the news that shots had been fired at President Kennedy's motorcade. Most people think Walter Cronkite was the first to tell America about the assassination. But when Cronkite broke the news on TV, he read from one of Smith’s dispatches. At Parkland Hospital, Smith saw President Kennedy’s blood-soaked body in the back of his limousine before the emergency room attendants arrived. Two hours later, he was one of three journalists to witness President Johnson’s swearing-in aboard Air Force One. Smith rightly won a Pulitzer Prize for the vivid story he wrote for the next day’s morning newspapers.Smith’s scoop is journalism legend. But the full story of how he pulled off the most amazing reportorial coup has never been told. As the top White House reporter of his time, Smith was a bona fide celebrity and even a regular on late-night TV. But he has never been the subject of a biography.With access to a trove of Smith’s personal letters and papers and through interviews with Smith’s family and colleagues, veteran news reporter Bill Sanderson will crack open the legend. Bulletins from Dallas tells for the first time how Smith beat his competition on the story, and shows how the biggest scoop of his career foreshadowed his personal downfall.Skyhorse Publishing, as well as our Arcade imprint, are proud to publish a broad range of books for readers interested in history--books about World War II, the Third Reich, Hitler and his henchmen, the JFK assassination, conspiracies, the American Civil War, the American Revolution, gladiators, Vikings, ancient Rome, medieval times, the old West, and much more.

There have been so many stories written about the Kennedy assassination--history and conspiracies, books and magazine articles--that you'd think after over 50 years there's nothing new or interesting to say. You'd be wrong. Bill Sanderson, a veteran newspaper reporter and editor, does for this story what great writers do. He gives his reader a fresh perspective by telling the story from a new and different viewpoint and by presenting facts that no one knew. The perspective is that of Merriman Smith, a deeply flawed and intensely interesting character. Smith was the UPI White House corespondent from Roosevelt to Nixon. For much of that time, he was a celebrity in his own right. He not only produced stories on the President that appeared in papers all over the world, he also wrote books, penned "gossipy" Page 6 stories, and appeared on talk shows and game shows. He drank like a fish and spent money like he drank. But, boy, could he write! In the days when journalists were writing "just the facts, ma'am" stories, he put the facts out in the form of simple sentences and cogent paragraphs that editors could put right into their newspapers.Interestingly, Sanderson's style in this book is similar to Smith's. It's very readable and hard to put aside. He doesn't ask for much and he delivers a story that's hard to put down. Like reading a Dan Brown thriller, you quickly get hooked on Smith, the consummate reporter. He was closer to Kennedy than Oswald was when JFK was shot. He instinctively got the story back to UPI who got it to essentially every newspaper's and every broadcaster's news room via teletype. Due to his craft and the ineptness of his AP counterpart, he stayed ahead of the story. Then, that night he wrote a longer piece that earned him the Pulitzer Prize.Like most alcoholics, Smith's life was not easy. Despite his income, his celebrity, and his influence, he was headed for personal disaster.I was in high school when the PA system announced the Kennedy had been shot--quite a while after the event. Then came the news that he was dead. After we got home, we were glued to the TV, watching grainy back and white images of newsmen trying to feed the public's interest in the story. Much of what we heard came from reporters discussed in this book. Smith was not the only reporter there, but he was the most capable. In Smith's car were three other reporters. Behind them in the motorcade were two buses of reporters all filing stories on what was going on. Smith was fighting to get the story first and get it right. He followed the story like the "news hound" he was.. He was at the hospital moments after Kennedy's limo arrived. He saw the dead president in Jackie's lap. He was behind the hearse taking JFK's body to the airport. He was in the plane when LBJ was sworn in. He was standing under the wing of Air Force One when JFK's body was taken off the plane and loaded into the hearse taking it to Bethesda for the autopsy. Dozens of other reporters around, but Smith followed the story better than anyone else.I commend Sanderson for taking this story that hadn't been told before and getting it down and into a very enjoyable read. In light of the current President's ongoing and the never ending battle with the press, it was extremely interesting and to some extent refreshing to read about a time when the President and the press were actually friends. Merriman Smith was the quintessential Washington insider as the long time dean of the White House Press corp. But for most of the presidents that he covered, he had an actual friendship. Presidents would have a difference of opinion about the news coverage but then they would also remain friends and there was a mutual respect on each side. And there was a certain amount of comradery between members of the press.Alas, should those days ever return!But the comradery between the news men came to an end when in came to covering the big stories and in the case of the coverage from Dallas on Nov. 22, 1963 it was every man for himself.While the title and the theme of the book focus on Smith's activities at the time of the JFK assassination, there is also a larger story to be told. For those who grew up in the world of cell phones and instant communications, it is fascinating to see how the news was covered with dial up phones, reporters searching for phone booths - those were phones on the corner in which you had to insert a dime to make a call. In many respects its is interesting to see who well they did function.Smith was a great journalist but he clearly had his faults and the bottle was probably his worse. But yet in spite of his drinking he performed like a pro until the bottle took over.I've read many books on the Kennedy assassination. Smith's account of the events in Dallas agree and substantiate the findings of the Warren Commission. Conspiracy theorist should read this book to get the truth of what happened in Dallas from someone who saw it all first hand.
