Publisher's 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.

The Kennedy Tragedy
An almost contemporaneous account of the days leading up to the assassination and the days after. A record of history and a detailed study of a family in grief as well as the political temperature at the time. Despite the credibility of the author, the exhaustive research and compelling story telling, I still hold the thought that something is missing here. Not all the conspiracy theories are believable but I think there is enough doubt in the case to discount the lone gunman scenario. A compelling read.
