Archived Site: The Ghosts of November:

Information Concerning this Archived Site

Source: https://novemberghosts.blogspot.com/

This is the archive of a blogspot hosted by Jeff Brailey, the senior medic of the Joint Humanitarian Task Force sent to Guyana in November 1978. Brailey wrote about his experiences in the book The Ghosts of November, which he self-published in 1998, but his work did not end there. Instead, he continued to research the military and diplomatic responses to Jonestown, and revised his work several times before posting what was to be the final edition on his blogspot. Beyond the book itself, however, the postings include Brailey's reports on his efforts to secure a literary agent, as well as topics relating to Jonestown, cults, cult leaders, and related subjects.

Brailey died in 2014.

In addition to this archive, this site has published both the complete manuscript of the final edition of the book as well as Brailey's other blog postings in text formats.

Revised Edition Will Be Published Here

Today is August 4, 2008. Twenty-nine years, eight months and two weeks ago, 913 Americans lost their lives in what, at that time, was history's largest mass murder/suicide. In 1998, I wrote The Ghosts of November.

I finished revising my book over a year ago. I tried to find an agent to represent my work. I gave up after making over 100 inquiries. I was equally unsuccessful in personally locating a publisher.

Unfortunately, the 30th anniversary of the Jonestown Massacre is quickly approaching and it is too late to get the book published before that November 18 date. With my ability to write and type deteriorating due to Parkinson's Disease, I have decided to publish the entire revised manuscript here on this blog.

I will begin this task in September and hope to complete it by the anniversary date. Please come back then and read it. If you know anyone else who may be interested in the b ook, please refer them to this blog.

Thank you.
