"The President Has Been Shot": The Assassination of John F. Kennedy by James L. Swanson

This book provides a comprehensive look at the events surrounding President Kennedy's assassination. The author gives you an up close and personal view into the relationships between the President and Mrs. Kennedy and the Secret Service agents while explaining how these relationships impacted the decisions that were made during and immediately following the assassination. At the same time, the author gives you insight into the mixed-up world of Lee Harvey Oswald and his family. He tells each side of the story in a compelling way with narrative, photographs and simple maps. Although the subject matter is heavy, the presentation makes this a great resource. I would highly recommend this book to anyone (young or old) interested in United States Presidential history.
