What secrets surrounding the JFK assassination remain hidden? Bestselling author and historian Brad Meltzer joins Greta Van Susteren on Greta Wire to explore one of America's most enduring mysteries, including why some assassination records may still be classified and how conspiracy theories often reflect the nation's deepest fears. Meltzer also reveals the remarkable story of the Wright brothers, from their humble beginnings in a bicycle shop to the failures, determination, and ingenuity that changed aviation forever. He shares why their story of perseverance and teamwork remains just as relevant today. The conversation takes an incredible turn as Meltzer explains the connection between the Wright brothers and the Apollo 11 moon landing, including how Neil Armstrong carried a piece of the original Wright Flyer to the moon. Plus, Meltzer discusses his mission to create a 100-book children's history library, upcoming books featuring Taylor Swift and Steven Spielberg, and his latest adult projects, The Viper and The Hitler Conspiracy.
