JFK in Dallas

For the reader interested in the news angle of 11/22/63, this is an excellent book. It covers the minute by minute coverage from all angles of the press from Fort Worth and Dallas to the national news organizations and sheds much light on the events of the entire weekend. It is almost a who was who of 1963, and also chronicles the human side along with the news coverage. It comes with a CD narrated by Dan Rather that I haven't listened to yet, but it is cross referenced very well with passages throughout the book. The book also contains many pictures of the events of the weekend, and gives readers an inside look at how news organizations of that time were run. A very different world than 2007. If you are a person interested in this tragic weekend, I would highly recommend it, and the seller was very reasonable on the price of the book. My only minor negative on the book was that the author seemed stuck on the Warren Commissions version of the story, which I believe to be almost completely false. I bought this book as an interested party of the history of this event, and also because I am a resident of the DFW area.
