It is said that 'History is written by the victors', and it appears to be more or less true. I believe that by learning history from more than one perspective, you will get closer to the truth.
By way of books, online research, archives, articles, podcasts, documentaries, and other media, The Tom Jerk Experience wants to make sense of the world. Usually, more questions appear than answers.
Who are the victors that write history? How is it done? What do we think we know that we do not know?
The world is still full of mysteries and great stories.
The Tom Jerk Experience is underway. Thank you for joining.
What experience?
I cannot get enough of non-fiction audiobooks. To me it's a great way to digest knowledge. A big part of The Tom Jerk Experience is sharing my audiobook recommendations and perhaps get some thrown back to me. At some point I'll start to share stories from this accumulated knowledge, and perhaps invite others to help.

Dr. Mary's Monkey
Edward T. Haslam's book is about a secret period with strange people in New Oreleans post World War II. Mary was one of the best cancer researchers in the world, but suddenly she was found dead - supposedly murdered.
Edward was raised in New Orleans and his father was a medical doctor who worked on a local hospital, which gave him early access to people within the medical research field. Ed's father knew Mary before she died. This leads him on a journey of finding out what happened to her.
