The Defining Moment: An In-Depth Look at the Assassination of President John F. Kennedy

On November 22, 1963, President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Texas. His death sent shockwaves around the world and plunged the nation into mourning. In the years since, countless books have been written about the assassination, but none have captured the full scope and complexity of the event like The Defining Moment.

Drawing from a wealth of primary sources, including never-before-seen documents and exclusive interviews, historian and author William Manchester has crafted a gripping and revelatory narrative that will captivate readers from start to finish. Manchester takes us inside the Kennedy White House, where we witness the president's struggle with the Cold War, the civil rights movement, and the growing tensions in Vietnam. We follow Kennedy to Dallas, where he is greeted by a mix of adoring fans and angry protesters. And we are there with him on that fateful day in Dealey Plaza, when the shots rang out and changed the course of history.
