Description
On November 22, 1963, three shots were fired in Dallas, and President John F. Kennedy was assassinated, stopping the world for four days. For an entire generation, it marked the end of an age of innocence.
A photo taken that evening showed a Secret Service agent jumping on the back of the presidential limousine in a desperate attempt to protect the President and Mrs. Kennedy. This agent, Clint Hill, now commemorates the 60th anniversary of the tragedy with this book, featuring over 150 photos accompanied by his insider account of those terrible days.
This is a riveting narrative of personal and historical scope, telling the story that has taken Hill half a century to share. It's a story of unbearable grief, monumental consequences, and a personal blow to a man sworn to protect the first family.
