This is another well-researched and well-written book rom Bill O'Reilly. It's fun to put in the CD while traveling and just listen. I highly recommend it.

Nice to see this again.  It is though provoking. I watched it while reading a book on LBJ and the Kennedy assassination.

The book, 'Killing Kennedy' by Bill O'Reilly is a winner. I had met the President two times before he was shot. The second time was at Hyanisport in Cape Cod. He pardened my entire Air Force Cadet Corp for the weekend - giving us the only free weekend we had during boot camp. The book brought back so many things that I was envolved in with Kennedy. A true five star work.

I read Killing Lincoln first, then read Killing Kennedy.  I read them both in the space of a week and a half. Then I saw the Killing Lincoln documentary on Discover right after I finished this book.  All of them were great.  I related more to this book because i remember when President Kennedy was killed.  This is written as a fact based novel and it reads well.  I found out lots of things I didn't know from this book.

An engaging interweaving of two of my favorite fascinations, the Kennedy assassination and Stephen King.  Don't think I turned on my TV for a week.  Greatly enjoyed it from cover to cover.

Explains why jfk was killed. A good interesting historical read though the bias of the author towards jfk is apparent.

Found this and Killing Kennedy to be interesting and thought provoking. I enjoy O'Reilly's writing style, as well as the historical perspective. Both books are recommended.

The presenting of this theory of how President Kennedy was killed was most interesting and we'll presented.  I would highly recommend anyone interested in the killing of Kennedy is a must read.

Seems like an accurate record of events, but too much detail.  There were too many suspects.  Fascinating how ALL politicians try to liken themselves to Kennedy.

For once in my adult life I really don't care what is true and what is untrue, at least in a fascinating novel based on the life of John F. Kennedy a young man.  What fascinated me is the interplay between the characters from both sides, American and German.  Additionally, there are fracture lines within each side that adds to the complicated story.

The basic framework is true:  Jack Kennedy, son of the American Ambassador to Britain in the pre-World War II days, took some time off from his senior year at Harvard to research and write his senior thesis, Why England Slept.

We area told that he was travelling on a diplomatic passport, and is sent abroad by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt.  The object of the trip, from the President's perspective, is to uncover a German network that is transferring millions of dollars into the US in order to buy the opposition candidate's seat in the coming election, thereby ousting FDR.  Also noteworthy is the fact that young Kennedy suffered from a chronic condition that caused acute physical problems.

The President allegedly trusted nobody except, perhaps, Jack.  J. Edgar Hoover was a manipulator whose word was unreliable and whose agenda differed from the President's; Joseph P. Kennedy, too, had another agenda, making money while Hitler devoured the continent of Europe and cozied up to the USSR as well as keeping Britain and the other allies out of war with Germany.

There is a whole cast of characters who may or may not be what they seem.  Characters seem adept in several languages (except for poor Jack)  Additionally there is a character, a Nazi, aide to Heydrich, who is notable for his knife murders and for carving in the victim's chest a device resembling a spider but in fact a swastika.  There are some torrid love scenes, some violent and bloody encounters, and an overwhelming sense of anxiety as the grey-coated Nazis become more and more visible as time passes.

As always, I am reluctant to give too much away--this is a terrific series of thrills, chills and downright suspense.

P.S.  If you are interested in learning more about President John F. Kennedy's life there is a list of reference works at the end.

Interesting to get relatively unknown facts like Jackie was a chain smoker and not quite the demure image cast by herself and the press.  I knew Jack went for about every woman he could get his hands on but didn't know Jackie eventually forgave him.  Seems a lot more romantic than bill and hill.  I do remember the actress Angie Dickensen saying JFK was the worst four letter word she ever had.  Aside from the fact that he wasn't all that warm-hearted you can infer from the book that he probably had to rush through these things, given that he had to try to run the country the rest of the time.  The portrait of Oswald is also interesting and gives a good counter-balance of the two men, as well as LBJ, Bobby and Marilyn.  I saw the movie about J Edgar Hoover shortly thereafter, which adds more perspective to that time and place.  At least he had the brains obama lacks in knowing that tax cuts stimulate the economy.

Good background details on many aspects of Kennedy's administration, culminating in the assasination.  Easy to read and moved quickly, keeping my attention, even though you knew what the ending was going to be.

I thought this was a very well written book about the circumstances surrounding the Kennedy presidency and his assassination.  It brought back many memories of that time in my life.

This was a smooth read that moved between the life of President Kennedy and his killer, Lee Harvey Oswald. It didn't answer all the questions but presented a vital comparison between two very different human beings who changed American history in a way that created confusion, tears, and no sensible answers.

It was very interesting to read about them.  Not sure if any or all of it is true, but gives you a different persona of her.  And I wasn't surprised by how all the Kennedy men acted.

Really enjoyed Killing Kennedy! This was the first book I have read on JFK and his life and assassination. Glad I went with this one because it was written so concisely. A very easy read that you could finish within a week or two. As others have mentioned, this is a good JFK starter book. There are plenty of other books that go way more in-depth on the subjects presented. With that being said, it was a fun read and I will definitely be reading more books from Mr. OReilly.

Not too much content.  If you've ever watched a tv show about the assassinations of Lincoln or Kennedy, then you've probably seen this material before.  There were a few tidbits and new names mentioned in the JFK murder, basically to refute a conspiracy!
