Though countless books have been written about the assassination of President Kennedy, few have provided the minute-by-minute details that this volume does. Combining the actual print reports, photos, and broadcasts of journalists on the scene with police-radio transmissions and White House communications, this dramatic re-creation of historic events incorporates both the assassination of JFK and the arrest and subsequent murder of Lee Harvey Oswald. Since no comprehensive media chronicle would be complete without sound accompaniment, an audio CD narrated by Dan Rather and containing a series of riveting original broadcasts has been included to round out the entire package. Coinciding with the fortieth anniversary of Kennedy's assassination, the publication of this stunning print and audio documentary will arouse readers' attention and incite immediate demand.

School Library Journal (Sat May 01 00:00:00 CDT 2004)

Adult/High School A powerful, multimedia reliving of Kennedy's assassination, beginning with Air Force One landing at Love Field and ending with the president's internment at Arlington National Cemetery. The commentaries from some of the nation's foremost journalists, including Mike Wallace, Dan Rather, and Walter Cronkite, have a clarity, drama, and intensity that only newsmen of their stature can provide. An audio CD narrated by Rather provides actual news broadcasts, phone calls, police radio transmissions, and aircraft radio communication. The book-CD combination is so well done that many readers will feel as if they have experienced that fateful day. John Kiefman, Fairfax County Public Library, VA
