A compelling investigation into the circumstances surrounding the infamous assassination from three key angles, with new information regarding what J. One thing clear from this and from the films and documentaries I have seen Jackie Kennedy was one hell of a woman! There is the unbearable anguish of secret service agent Clint Hill watching his president die and beating his hands in despair on the trunk of the limousine, feeling he should have taken the bullet. A truly international and honest account of an event that shook the world, I would highly recommend this book to anyone. I wanted to read different opinions of people who were there at the time but Mayo does make it clear from the start that is not what his book is about and I can respect that.This last remark rather poignant in view of a man holding a rifle being spotted later in a Book Depository window but not being reported because it was thought he was a Secret Service agent.
