Summary

As the world still reeled from the tragic and historic events of November 22, 1963, William Manchester set out, at the request of the Kennedy family, to create a detailed, authoritative record of President John F. Kennedy's death, including the days immediately preceding and following the assassination. Through hundreds of interviews, extensive travel, and first hand observation, and with unique access to the proceedings of the Warren Commission, Manchester conducted an exhaustive historical investigation, accumulating 45 volumes of documents, exhibits, and transcribed tapes. His ultimate objective - to set down as a whole the national and personal tragedy that was JFK's assassination - is brilliantly achieved in this galvanizing narrative, a book universally acclaimed as a landmark work of modern history.

Superb

Well researched - very detailed but told really well - a fantastic listen. Based on factual material it really informs the days before and after - best thing I have listened to in a long time. Thanks

Brilliant. Definitely worth a second listen.

This was so well written/told I am now keen to find out more about a period of history I was not particularly interested in previously.
