Publisher's summary

A riveting historical narrative of the shocking events surrounding the assassination of John F. Kennedy, and the follow-up to mega-bestselling author Bill O'Reilly's Killing Lincoln More than a million listeners have thrilled to Bill O'Reilly's Killing Lincoln, the can't-stop-listening work of nonfiction about the shocking assassination that changed the course of American history. Now the anchor of The O'Reilly Factor recounts in gripping detail the brutal murder of John Fitzgerald Kennedy—and how a sequence of gunshots on a Dallas afternoon not only killed a beloved president but also sent the nation into the cataclysmic division of the Vietnam War and its culture-changing aftermath.

In January 1961, as the Cold War escalates, John F. Kennedy struggles to contain the growth of Communism while he learns the hardships, solitude, and temptations of what it means to be president of the United States. Along the way he acquires a number of formidable enemies, among them Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev, Cuban dictator Fidel Castro, and Alan Dulles, director of the Central Intelligence Agency. In addition, powerful elements of organized crime have begun to talk about targeting the president and his brother, Attorney General Robert Kennedy. In the midst of a 1963 campaign trip to Texas, Kennedy is gunned down by an erratic young drifter named Lee Harvey Oswald. The former Marine Corps sharpshooter escapes the scene, only to be caught and shot dead while in police custody. The events leading up to the most notorious crime of the 20th century are almost as shocking as the assassination itself. Killing Kennedy chronicles both the heroism and deceit of Camelot, bringing history to life in ways that will profoundly move the listener. This may well be the most talked about book of the year.

O'Reilly is masterful in The Killing of Kennedy

This is the best historical review both written and told of JFK's life leading up to and including the assassination. O'Reilly does a superlative factual account and keeps the reader riveted.

Great read if your a fan of the Kennedy presidency

Great book

Bill did a great job narrating this book. Brought it to life. Loved every second of it!

Good Book

I enjoyed it. Very interesting and informative. A good look at an important time in history. Why is Audible making me write more than I want or need to in order to fill some word quota they manufactured. Is this communist Russia?

Amazing!!

Bill O’Reilly masterfully blends history, humanity, politics, and profiles of the personalities surrounding and including John F. Kennedy. The grippingly vivid account of JFK’s murder in the limousine belies the fact that it took merely seconds to plunge a peaceful November day into one marked by chaos, despair, and national tragedy.

Must read!

This book is a must read for everyone! I wouldn’t call myself a real history lover but the books in the killing series have opened my eyes to how much history about our country I didn’t know. Everyone I talk to I’m like you’ve got to read the Killing series.

O'Reilly does it Again!

Bill, I can't thank you enough. you have educated me far beyond what my teachers did back in the 70s and 80s with all your killing series. All teachers could take lessons from you. Excellent work.

Outstanding

Bill O’Reilly is a great story teller. I lived through these events as I was 17 when President Kennedy was assassinated. The murder of our President changed America. It was a horrible time.

A good account about a sad moment in our history

A modern replay of those people and moments that changed our country forever. Worth a listen.
