The group will reveal why the Bureau was so interested in such prominent figures as Albert Einstein, Vera Rubin, and Richard Feynman - including the identity of the author of the infamous letter to J. Edgar Hoover accusing Feynman of being an “enemy of America:”

Admission is free with RSVP. If you purchase a copy of the book alongside your ticket, you can get 20% off the cover price.
