As the world still reeled from the tragic and historic events of November 22, 1963, William Manchester set out, at the request of the Kennedy family, to create a detailed, authoritative record of President John F. Kennedy's death, including the days immediately preceding and following the assassination. Through hundreds of interviews, extensive travel, and first hand observation, and with unique access to the proceedings of the Warren Commission, Manchester conducted an exhaustive historical investigation, accumulating 45 volumes of documents, exhibits, and transcribed tapes. His ultimate objective—to set down as a whole the national and personal tragedy that was JFK's assassination—is brilliantly achieved in this galvanizing narrative, a book universally acclaimed as a landmark work of modern history.

If you could sum up The Death of a President in three words, what would they be?
The definitive account of the JFK assassination.What was one of the most memorable moments of The Death of a President?
When Dean Rusk is notified of the murder, the other folks on the plane interpret his reaction as indicating a nuclear war has started.Have you listened to any of Joe Barrett’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
I havent heard him, but he was excellent.Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
It made me both laugh and cry.Any additional comments?
Its a bit of a hagiography. I think Gore Vidal called it a historical novel. But Manchester nearly worked himself to death writing and researching it. It was a great listen.Btw, I really liked the narrator - his take on Johnson, the Dallas police chief, the Kennedy staff, Jackie, Secret Service agents.
Its like stepping through a portal into 1960s USA
