This book is one of many providing the opportunity to formulate your own interpretation of what happened on that fatal day in November. I understand Mr. Hill was the closest witness in proximity to this event, but he does not provide overwhelming confidence to believe the fatal shot did not come from the front. I thank Mr. Hill for his service and I cannot even imagine the horrific sight and circumstances he had to endure that day. The controversial issue I would like to address is why would he have been called into autopsy room after it was completed-it just does not make sense. I wish he would have come forward sooner with his side of the story, but better late than never. Mr. Hill's description of the mortal wound is enough proof and evidence that there were at least two shooters.

Clint Hill did an excellent job documenting one of the saddest days in American history. Historians in the future will be able to read this book as one of the major resources in understanding what happened on November 22, 1963, when we lost our young and inspiring President, John F. Kennedy.

I love reading about the Kennedy White House years, and enjoyed this book by Clint Hill, and Lisa McCubbin! Will written and Clint Hill told so much about those 5 days, and the Kennedy detail agents that day in Dallas. Trust Me when I tell you, I have read and have dozens of books on the Kennedy's, and nothing takes you every minute on the Dallas trip like this book!!!! Bravo to Clint Hill!!!!
I purchased used because there was no way I paying retail for this book ($30 is a bit much-even ereader copy runs $15-$20. I like the layout of each chapter. It literally goes day by day starting with the day they left for Texas and ends with the day of JFKs funeral. Each day goes into detail about the events of that day right down to what exactly happened when those shots were fired. I love reading a book that can make you feel like you were there and this one does.He goes into detail to explain how and why some things happened/were done the way they were. It doesn't sugarcoat the truth.
I've read two of the books that Secret Service Agent Hill has written and enjoyed them very much, it's just a tragedy that it came about from the great lost of a GREAT Pres. Kennedy. On that day I was in the Navy and just waking up in Okinawa when I found out, it's like someone destroyed all the citizens of the United States of America......I highly recommend any of the books he wrote. What he did that day in Dallas was one that showed everyone how close he and others were close to the Kennedy's.
