A riveting historical narrative of the shocking events
surrounding the assassination of John F. Kennedy, and the follow-up
to mega-bestselling author Bill O'Reilly's "Killing Lincoln"
More than a million readers have thrilled to Bill O'Reilly's
"Killing Lincoln," the page-turning work of nonfiction about the
shocking assassination that changed the course of American history.
Now the anchor of "The O'Reilly Factor "recounts in gripping detail
the brutal murder of John Fitzgerald Kennedy--and how a sequence of
gunshots on a Dallas afternoon not only killed a beloved president
but also sent the nation into the cataclysmic division of the
Vietnam War and its culture-changing aftermath.
In January 1961, as the Cold War escalates, John F. Kennedy
struggles to contain the growth of Communism while he learns the
hardships, solitude, and temptations of what it means to be
president of the United States. Along the way he acquires a number
of formidable enemies, among them Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev,
Cuban dictator Fidel Castro, and Alan Dulles, director of the
Central Intelligence Agency. In addition, powerful elements of
organized crime have begun to talk about targeting the president
and his brother, Attorney General Robert Kennedy.
In the midst of a 1963 campaign trip to Texas, Kennedy is gunned
down by an erratic young drifter named Lee Harvey Oswald. The
former Marine Corps sharpshooter escapes the scene, only to be
caught and shot dead while in police custody.
The events leading up to the most notorious crime of the
twentieth century are almost as shocking as the assassination
itself. "Killing Kennedy" chronicles both the heroism and deceit of
Camelot, bringing history to life in ways that will profoundly move
the reader. This may well be the most talked about book of the
year.
