Critic reviews

"Dean Owen's book of reflections on President Kennedy's assassination will undoubtedly be an important contribution to the literature on the assassination." (Vincent Bugliosi, author of Helter Skelter and Four Days in November)

Very interesting

Interesting to hear the thoughts of many people who knew Kennedy. It was a tragedy for the country to loose him.

The Kennedy Camp

Interesting piece of oral history. I would have liked to hear the actual voices of the contributors. There are some spots where the narrator repeats the same paragraph. It ll have to be edited in the future.
I m thinking an oral history of the Iran/Iraq war , the fall of the Shah, the invasion of Kuwait,, etc etc would be apropos at this juncture. Make it available on Amazon Plus. Cheerio....steven

Repetition

All I can say is repetition, repetition, repetition! Good readers, but the repetition gets boring.

Good information

I liked hearing the different stories from different people and their perspectives on that day.

A very sad day

This was a very sad day for me. I was in math class in about the 8th grade When they message came over the intercom Everyone in the class started crying
