This is a book about the events leading up to President Kennedy's Assasination. I have read a lot of books about the subject, but this book provides fresh perspective from reporters who have thoroughly researched and found new (to me anyway) material.

The authors have a way (as in Killing Lincoln) of making history come alive and following the victim (Kennedy) and the killer (Oswald) on paralell tracks that lead to tragedy. I found this to be riveting.

anyone who is interested in the events leading up to the assasination in 1963.

the part about Greta Garbo being the last visitor to the White House. This is the first time I heard that. I also liked the explanation of what Kennedy did to save his men on PT 109 during WW II. I had always heard this referred to without hearing the whole story of it. It is an important aspect to understanding how Kennedy lived his life in such a reckless way.

read more about the time period.

like I was experiencing it in the present time.

Both authors do a great job.

it gives a fresh perspective on history. It was a quick and riveting read.
