Parkland

By: Vincent Bugliosi

Narrated by: George Newbern

Now a major motion picture! The exciting and definitive narrative of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963.

In Parkland (originally titled Four Days in November), author Vincent Bugliosi “has definitively explained the murder that recalibrated modern America” (Jim Newton, Los Angeles Times Book Review). Releasing this fall, the movie—starring Paul Giamatti, Zac Efron, Jacki Weaver, and Billy Bob Thornton—follows a group of individuals making split-second decisions after this incomprehensible event: the doctors and nurses at Parkland Hospital, the chief of the Dallas Secret Service, the cameraman who captured what has become the most examined film in history, the FBI agents who had gunman Lee Harvey Oswald within their grasp, and Vice President Lyndon Johnson who had to take control of the country at a moment’s notice. Based on Vincent Bugliosi’s Reclaiming History—Parkland is the story of that day.

All details covered with respect the all parties.

Liked the flow and the orator was very smooth. Very nicely presented/read without gore only truths.

Not what you think

Vincent Bugliosi never disappoints. So many researched details that I never knew. I would recommend.

Not What I Expected But Enjoyed Anyway

My eyesight is going wonky so I was expecting the Parkland book about the school shooting . My mistake. However I really like Bugliosi as an author and George Newbern as a reader. Book had different details in it ( yes there are some left) and finished up pretty quickly.

A very enjoyable listen

This was a very good book, well written and well narrated. I am 58 and have read many books on the Kennedy Assassination over the years, most of them from the conspiracy point of view. This book follows the days events and delves very little into those theories. Even thought I know the story, I was riveted to it. George Newbern did a great job with the narration.

This book dose assume that Oswald acted alone, and if you are one who believes that he had help, the book may be a little harder to get through then it was for me. For years I had believed in a conspiracy, but over time I have come to believe, hard as it may seam, that Oswald acted alone.

Yes, the Dallas police messed up, the did not record their interviews with Oswald and they allowed Ruby into the basement. The body was taken from Dallas county to Washington DC, in spite of the fact it was not a federal crime. Oswald lived in Russia, went to the Russian embassy in Mexico City and was a very strange individual. Ruby did have some ties to organized crime. All those things, and what seam like hundreds of other problems, are true. They do leave a lot of room for speculation, but that all is is. Just speculation.

Captivating read.

I found I always wanted to listen just a little longer. I am intrigued by the personal stories of all involved in the Kennedy Assassination and to hear them go on about their daily lives and the extraordinary circumstances they had to deal with is very captivating. I would recommend this to anyone interested in the story of what happened on November 22, 1963.
