The Assassination of JFK
Minute by Minute
Jonathan Mayo New Paperback Illustrated
Postscript summary
Avoiding speculation and conspiracy theories, this sober, chronological account follows the events surrounding John F. Kennedy’s assassination from the viewpoint of eyewitnesses. We see Lee Harvey Oswald ascend to the sixth floor of the Texas Book Depository; the motorcade turn into Elm Street; and, as Abraham Zapruder films with his home movie camera, three shots tear into the president’s limousine.
Product information
Full publisher description
The acclaimed book by Jonathan Mayo, now available in paperback
"Reads like a pacey, page-turning, cold war political thriller." Dermot O'Leary
This is the story of JFK's assassination as told from the frontline: it is about the people - from the highest to the lowest - who were caught up in that four-day whirlwind in November 1963.
From Dallas nightclub reporter Tony Zoppi, who found himself carrying the president's casket; Secret Service agent Clint Hill beating his hands in despair on the trunk of the limousine as he watches Kennedy die; Howard Brennan, a construction worker on a lunch break watching a man take aim on the motorcade with a rifle; reporter Hugh Aynesworth with only an electricity bill on which to write notes for the scoop of his career; DJ John Peel a few feet from Oswald as he's questioned by the press; to Robert Kennedy sitting in the dark in the back of an empty army truck, waiting for his brother's body to arrive.
The Assassination of JFK: Minute by Minute is pure chronological narrative, giving a blow by blow account of the terrible events as they unfolded.
"Packed with vivid detail, and arranged in the minute by minute style that Jonathan Mayo has pioneered, this account of the murder of John F Kennedy gripped me from the first page to the last." Jeremy Vine
