 As the world still reeled from the tragic and historic events of November 22, 1963, William Manchester set out, at the request of the Kennedy family, to create a detailed, authoritative record of the days immediately preceding and following President John F. Kennedy's death.

Through hundreds of interviews, abundant travel and firsthand observation, and with unique access to the proceedings of the Warren Commission, Manchester conducted an exhaustive historical investigation, accumulating forty-five volumes of documents, exhibits, and transcribed tapes. His ultimate objective -- to set down as a whole the national and personal tragedy that was JFK's assassination -- is brilliantly achieved in this galvanizing narrative, a book universally acclaimed as a landmark work of modern history. 

I feel this is a nice and important work about the national and personal tragedy that was JFK's assassination. It will make a nice addition to anyone's library or collection. Also a great gift for any JFK, JFK’s assassination Historian or William Manchester fan, or collector. Please view all photos as they are part of the condition description, and carefully read the description. I try to show and describe the highlights and flaws to the best of my ability. I believe these to be important to both the collector and the casual reader alike.
