Richard Fine

Richard Fine, Professor emeritus at Virginia Commonwealth University and author of The Price of Truth, delves into Edward Kennedy's audacious reporting on the Nazi surrender. Fine explains how Kennedy defied military censorship, igniting controversy and altering media-military relations forever. The discussion reveals the intense drama behind the scenes, Soviet influences, and the chaotic aftermath of Kennedy's scoop, including the threats he faced from military authorities and his subsequent fall from grace. Fine's insights challenge the heroic narrative of wartime journalism.
