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.

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.

Nothing is worse for an assassination researcher then to find readers buying into O'Reilly's nonsense. Folks, Oswald didn't kill Kennedy. He was a patsy. LBJ used the CIA to create regime change in the US just as they had in Iran, Guatemala, the Congo, South Viet Nam and attempted to pull off in Cuba. There's a film of the assassination (Zapruder) that clearly shows the shot which killed Kennedy striking him from the front - not the back. Oswald proved negative for firing a rifle on 11/22/63 (as tested by the FBI). O'Reilly is a tool of the ultra-right CIA. The same people who are bugging Senate Sub-Committees on intelligence (the CIA) were responsible for killing JFK. This book is garbage. If you're truly interested in learning the facts of the 11/22/63 assassination - "Killing Kennedy" isn't going to help you. Johnson put together the Warren Commission using Allen Dulles, who JFK had fired after he'd deceived him about the Bay of Pigs invasion. The same Allen Dulles who LBJ made the defacto head of the Warren Commission. Honest lawyers and investigators who were hitting roadblocks and being told to "stand-down" when they discovered information pointing to a domestic conspiracy were resigning their positions left and right when they realized that the "lone gunman theory" was a fait accompli. Johnson was a homicidal sociopath. Do some real investigation. O'Reilly is a tool of the CIA - nothing more. He doesn't invite people on his show and allow them to state their points of view. He blusters and bullies his guests and even his co-hosts. This book is full of lies, mis-statements and a repitition of the Warren whitewash. The case has been massaged so thoroughly by our Government that it's become difficult for young historians and investigators to unwind but the old-timers who knew what was going on with LBJ and the CIA in '63 know the score. We won't live forever however. You need to read; "LBJ, Mastermind of the JFK assassination" if you want to understand how and why Kennedy was shot. O'Reilly is a big, blustering bully who is attempting to change history. He's the devil in disguise and this ridiculous book proves it. Don't be deceived. This fat pig knows the truth but still sell his lies in order to please his government masters. The truth will set you free.Read full review
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.

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.
