More than a million readers have thrilled to Bill O'Reilly's Killing Lincoln, the page-turning work of non-fiction 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 muder of John Fitzgerald Kennedy - and how a sequence of gunshots on a Dallas afternoon not only killed a beloved president but also sent America 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 twentieth 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 reader.

Another one that's been on my "to listen to" list for too long. Exceeded any expectations I might have had, and really enjoyed Billy O'Reilly's narration.

0.5 Bill O’Reilly Blames Decline in Spirituality for the Deaths of WDBJ Journalists
What a horrible, lying, Christian jerk who happened to write a lot of crap books. I was thinking if you read his books, because you like this jerk, I'm quite certain that we could not be friends. If you read these books for research for how someone who is fucked in the head by Jesus think, then...

3.0 Killing Kennedy: The End of Camelot
More like 2 1/2 stars. I didn't enjoy it as much as Killing Lincoln, but it was pretty good. A bit sensationalized in places and very much about the Kennedy administration rather than a focus on the assassination and aftermath. O'Reilly makes a lot of assumptions and embellishes situations--how c...

4.0 Killing Kennedy: The End of Camelot
Although there was very little I didn't already know it was a very good overview on Kennedy presidency and assassination. If the younger generation were looking for a book and hadn't read much on Kennedy before I would highly recommend this one.

3.0 Killing Kennedy: The End of Camelot
Better written than I expected and a pretty enjoyable book, even though I still have issues with the lone gunman story that this book doesn't even attempt to address.
