Editor reviews

Journalist Dean Owen curates an important collection of interviews and commentaries from the individuals connected to the events of November 22, 1963, the day of President Kennedy's assassination. Arthur Morey, AudioFile Magazine’s 2012 Golden Voice and recipient of multiple Earphones Awards, leads a superb cast of narrators whose performances capture the spirit and personalities of nearly one hundred men and women, ranging from civil rights leaders to eminent reporters, without resorting to caricature. These moving narrations provide a thoughtful, emotionally-resonant picture of that tragic day and its impact on all Americans.

I really enjoyed this. I found it interesting to hear the various recollections of President Kennedy before he was elected, during his presidency and of the events of November 22nd 1963. It was fascinating to hear from people from all walks of life.

Fascinating book

A great listen,i would recommend this to anyone.Many differing opinions on the Kennedy presidency.I was only 13 months old when JFK died.So i'll admit to having a morbid interest in all things JFK.

Where were you when the great man was shot?.
