"The President Has Been Shot: The Assassination of John F. Kennedy," James L. Swanson. For history buffs, this is a chilling read full of compelling black and white photos, quotes, diagrams and resources. The author briefly takes us up to the inauguration of John Fitzgerald Kennedy on January 20, 1961, with the bulk of the book focusing on Thursday, November 21, 1963 . . . the day of his assassination. The author alternates between Kennedy and Lee Harvey Oswald, the man assumed to be his assassin, and their final destinies, which would change America forever, shrouding that day in mystery and theories. Real photos of his flag draped casket and funeral procession, to his final resting place in Arlington National Cemetery with a permanent flame raise goosebumps, despite it seeming ancient history to young readers. For readers with an interest in informational text, this is a book well worth your time. Although, I recommend this for any reader to build an understanding of this intense period in history and the man that dared to be president.
