On Friday, July 21, 2023, Maryland Public Television aired an interview conducted by Jeff Salkin with author John W. Frece and Gerry Brewster about Frece's new biography, Self-Destruction: The rise, fall, and redemption of U.S. Senator Daniel B. Brewster for Salkin's MPT program State Circle.
Frece and Brewster candidly answer questions not only about the political highs of Senator Brewster's life – from the critical role he played in the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, to the preservation of Assateague, and more – but also his lows – losing his reelection, his struggles with alcoholism, and his legal tribulations.
While the video of the interview is currently unavailable, a full transcript of the interview is available at this link.
