There are a lot of books out now for the 50th anniversary of the assasination of JFK. I had read Mr. Swanson's books on Lincoln and found him to be a good storyteller.

I was somewhat let down by this effort as I think that Bill O'Reilly's book, Killing Kennedy did a better job of telling the events in a dramatic fashion. I will let other readers be the judge of that, but I was surprised that Mr. Swanson did not footnote Mr. O'Reilly's book as some parts of the books seemed very similar to me.

anyone interested in the Kennedy assasination. I have visited Dealey Plaza and am very confused by what I saw. The area where it happened is so much smaller than it seems on TV. I believe Oswald did some of the shooting, but I do not see how he did all if it in that space at a moving target. But I am not a gun person.

the parts about Mrs. Jacqueline Kennedy and all that she had to endure with dignity and grace.

read and watch more about the history of the time. I was alive then so it is very interesting to me.

like I was back in time a bit.

does a good job, but if you are choosing one book to read, I would read Killing Kennedy instead - it was much more gripping reading.
