Synopsis
A riveting historical narrative of the shocking events surrounding the assassination of John F. Kennedy, and the follow-up to mega-bestselling author Bill O'Reilly's Killing Lincoln More than a million readers have thrilled to Bill O'Reilly's Killing Lincoln , the page-turning work of nonfiction about the shocking assassination that changed the course of American history. Now the iconic anchor of The O'Reilly Factor recounts in gripping detail the brutal murder of John Fitzgerald Kennedy--and how a sequence of gunshots on a Dallas afternoon not only killed a beloved president but also sent the nation into the cataclysmic division of the Vietnam War and its culture-changing aftermath. In January 1961, as the Cold War escalates, John F. Kennedy struggles to contain the growth of Communism while he learns the hardships, solitude, and temptations of what it means to be president of the United States. Along the way he acquires a number of formidable enemies, among them Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev, Cuban dictator Fidel Castro, and Allen Dulles, director of the Central Intelligence Agency. In addition, powerful elements of organized crime have begun to talk about targeting the president and his brother, Attorney General Robert Kennedy. In the midst of a 1963 campaign trip to Texas, Kennedy is gunned down by an erratic young drifter named Lee Harvey Oswald. The former Marine Corps sharpshooter escapes the scene, only to be caught and shot dead while in police custody. The events leading up to the most notorious crime of the twentieth century are almost as shocking as the assassination itself. Killing Kennedy chronicles both the heroism and deceit of Camelot, bringing history to life in ways that will profoundly move the reader.

    Informative and well written

    I enjoyed reading the book, and was amazed at the facts that I didn't remember as a young Middle School student of the time. I really enjoy the writing style these two authors use. I am now reading their third book, and I would recomend them all as an informative look back at some of our most historic moments.

    Book is worth reading if you have interests in history of the 60's.

    Interesting book but I don't agree with the conclusion. Don't understand how an educated person can believe that Oswald acted alone in the assassination of JFK. Authors did present interesting background information.

    Black and White Imagery.

    I Do remember hearing the news about the Dallas tragedy. I recall Where I was Clearly. The book re-told so much but offered new and fair perspective on a sad and often sensationalized piece of American history. I still have questions, and like most of us, always will. Ties into the revelations of today, with a dim light on the doubt of what we hear as opposed to the reality of what occurred. Offers a ' Magic Bullet' analogy, but still sounds dubious. Popular media obscured the truth behind the Kennedy family but this offers some vague details that are off the pages of most historical accounts of the period. " Watch my Right Hand " .... the left hand is out of the picture again. Still going on.

    Amazing details about Kennedy's day to today life. Then the sudden dark tragedy of death by assassination. This family has had so many extreme ups. An

    I've read several books on the President Kennedy and seen various documentaries on this unspeakable tragedy. Though I am not a fan of Mr. O'Reilly, this book went above and beyond expectations. In my world we would say: "May President Kennedy's life be eternal."

    Well Worth Reading

    Very well-written, objective, and informative overview of both the presidency and assassination of JFK. Opinions have been polarized for many decades when it comes to the Kennedy family and its occasionally unsavory history, but one thing we should all be able to agree on, especially after reading this book, is that President John F. Kennedy was a man of courage, strength, and perseverance. Highly recommended for anyone even casually interested in the man or his short time in the Oval Office.
