Kennedy's Last Days

The Assassination That Defined a Generation

By: Bill O'Reilly

Narrated by: Edward Herrmann

Adapted for children from Bill O'Reilly's best-selling historical thriller Killing Kennedy, with an unforgettable cast of characters, page-turning action, and art on every spread, Kennedy's Last Days is history that reads like a thriller.

This exciting book will captivate adults and young readers alike.

On a sunny day in Dallas, Texas, at the end of a campaign trip, President John Fitzgerald Kennedy is assassinated by an angry, lonely drifter named Lee Harvey Oswald. The former Marine Corps sharpshooter escapes briefly, but is hunted down, captured, and then shot dead while in police custody.

Kennedy's Last Days is a gripping account of the events leading up to the most notorious crime of the twentieth century. Author Bill O'Reilly vividly describes the Kennedy family's life in the public eye, the crises facing the president around the world and at home, the nation's growing fascination with their vigorous, youthful president, and finally, the shocking events leading up to his demise.

Critic reviews

“The popularity of the adult title will drive interest, but this book is strong enough to draw its own audience. An excellent choice for middle-school libraries.” —School Library Journal

Mistakes during the assignation.

Was a version of the old “what happened but so many mistakes. Accountability and responsibility was wrong 😑?

Awesome!

There are so many theories of what happened it was great to read a version that was well researched.
Great narration and held it my interest from beginning to end.

Insightful

I always enjoy hearing the rest of the story as Paul Harvey would say but this has been told and retold so many times that there was very little new information. However, that won't stop me from getting the next book.

As I remember

As I am old enough to remember this event. I was hoping for new insight. I didnt find it

Waste of a credit

Other than Edward Hermann’s narration, This book proved to be a waste of a credit and provided very little, if any, new insights into JFK’s last days.
