Excellent.  This was time that is vivid in my memory, I 20 yrs old when Camelot ended. This book clarified the events, gave me missing information.  Thank you for writing this story

100% on point in terms of accuracy and an absolute must read. As a grade schooler when all these events unfolded, my understanding of the truth as it relates to Kennedy and Camelot had been tarnished by rumors and urban legend similar to what I suspect many others have heard. Thanks for setting the record straight!

Not as good as Killing Kennedy I thought, but it is mainly because this event happened in a different era and the details are less well known.  Still very good.

I read Killing Lincoln when it came out and loved it so I ordered Killing Kennedy and enjoyed it just as much.  Both books were filled with information that I did not know before and kept me turning the pages.

This is a excellent book by Bill O'Reilly and Martin Duguard. One of the best of the Killing series. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in the history of the Reagan years.

Wonderful book!  Just as good as Killing Lincoln!  O'Reilly is not only a good journalist, but also a terrific writer.  Couldn't put it down.  The Kennedy assassination still breaks my heart.  I remember it like it was yesterday.  This book gave great insight into what Lee Harvey Oswald was all about.  I've read many books about the Kennedys, but this one delved into Oswald's psyche like no other book has done.  Being Irish Catholic, my Republican parents switched parties because of Jack Kennedy.  It was devastating watching everything unfold on TV, especially seeing the grief on Jackies's face during the funeral procession.  It's a landmark moment I'll never forget.

First of all I appologize for my writing, 'cause I'm not a native English speaker.

I became very interested with Arthurian literature and with the Quest. I've read many books, and this is the one I have liked best. This book is the full version of the quest that Thomas Mallory included in his book La Morte d'Arthur. So the storyline is somewhat different than it's near predecessors Chretien de Troyes and W. Von Eschenbach. I find this one the deepest in terms of symbolism, and the most valuable one.

For those who would like to go a bit back in time to Merlin's origin, the beginning of King Arthur, etc, you can find that in the book from Robert de Boron.

This is a wonderful review of the brief presidency of John F. Kennedy and the story of how he won the election of 1960. It describes the political power of his father, Joseph Kennedy & shows how close the election really was.  Tragically his term was cut short by an assassin's bullet. This is a very good review.

great reading keeps  one involved, hard to put down

Killing Lincoln and now Killing Kennedy

I was 12 years old when Kennedy was assassinated and I remember that almost immediately conspiracy theories emerged. Over the next 49 years most of what written about this chapter of American history was colored by supposition and distortion of facts. "Killing Kennedy" clearly lays out the facts in a time line showing the tragic convergence of the lives of John F. Kennedy and Lee Harvey Oswald. I thoroughly enjoyed reading "Killing Kennedy" and I recommend it to any student of history.

Killing Kennedy joins Killing Lincoln as one the most detailed and gripping tales of a nation's trauma and recovery from a Presidential assassination. After reading these books, I have visited Washington, Ford's theater, Newport, and Arlington cemetery with a deeper appreciation and subtle sadness.

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.

Camelot's Court is a new book about dealing with the men (no women)) who advised President John Fitzgerald Kennedy (1917-63)during his one thousand days in the White House. Dr. Robert Dallek the distinguished biographer of Kennedy, Nixon and Kissinger and Lyndon Baines Johnson is the author. The book is a coda to the Kennedy biography published as the United States in 2013 remembers the JFK assassination in Dallas and the lost hopes for progress which died with Lee Harvey's bullet to the body of Kennedy.
  The book packs a punch as it takes a hard look at the dangerous times in which Kennedy was called to lead America. Unlike President Eisenhower a world respected leader who had years of military and presidential command under his belt, Kennedy was new to high office after two terms in the House of Representatives and one full term in the United States Senate. Kennedy had definite liabilities as he entered the testing ground that is the Oval Office. Among them were:
a. Kennedy was in terrible health due to a number of life threatening conditions. JFK was heavily medicated with much of his day spent in pain.
b. The new president was a serial adulterer who would have been destroyed by scandal.
c. Kennedy's chief interest was in foreign affairs, He lacked a domestic agenda.
d. President Kennedy was a bookish intellectual adverse to the usual persona of hale fellow well met which is the usual persona of politicians.
e. Kennedy had a difficult relationship with Vice-President Lyndon Johnson. Johnson hated Bobby Kennedy who served as JFK's attorney general and closest advisor.
  The major challenges facing the new Democratic Kennedy team include:
a. Arms reduction and nuclear non-proliferation agreements with the Soviet Union. The Cold War was as its apogee.
b. The Cuban missile  crisis in which JFK and his team stared the Soviets down forcing Khrushcev to remove the nuclear weapons which had been installed in the Castro Communist controlled island just ninety miles from Florida. This was the greatest crisis faced by Kennedy. It came months after the failed CIA backed Bay of Pigs disaster which ended in total defeat
c. Kennedy moved slowly on African-American civil rights. His administration did produce a voter rights bill which became the Civil Rights Act of 1965.
d. The administration had to deal with the Diem regime in South Vietnam which was losing the civil war against the Vietcong.
e. Kennedy had to deal with the situation in Berlin which was controlled from Moscow and was over one hundred miles  inside
Communist governed East German.
f. Kennedy had to deal with the military Joint Chief of Staffs who were hawkish and bellicose in their parlous dealings with the Soviets.
  Kennedy's team was diverse and combative! Hawks such as Secretary of State Robert McNamara; John McCone at CIA; Dean Rusk
the waffling Secretary of State were eager to see the US invade Cuba and escalate the war in Vietnam. Men like George Ball and Senator Mike Mansfield urged caution in escalating Vietnam.
  Much of the book deals with the opinions of the advisors around JFK. Dallek paints a nuanced portrait of a young president who was growing in office when he was gunned down in Dallas.
  This is one of the best books on Kennedy I have ever read which I expect from Robert Dallek's keen insight into Kennedy at a crucial time in our nation and the world's history. This is an excellent book on the Kennedy administration that will become a classic. Highly recommended!

This was an awesome movie. It's one of my favorites. Oliver Stone did an excellent job directing this gripping movie about the assassination of JFK. It really makes you think about how HUGE the conspiracy was, how it stretched through all braches of government, just for money. While it is boring in some parts, I recommend this court room drama to anyone curious about the assassination of the President on November 22, 1963.

I'm a history major.  Read a lot of books, wrote a lot of articles.  This is a gripping account of the last days of JFK and tells us more about the Oswalds.

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.
