For the last year I have been wanting to read The Kennedy Assisnation -- 24 Hours After: Lyndon B. Johnson's Pivotal First Day as President and finally grabbed it from the library last night. I started reading it last night and could not put it down. Author Stevn M. Gillon takes a new approach on such a historical event in American history. Gillon looks into the relationship between Johnson and John and Robert Kennedy. The style of writing is far from the dry, textbook style of so many history books, this one moves like a narrative. I have always been fascinated with this tragic American event and Gillon sheds light on the short amount of time when one president was killed and another had to be sworn in a few hours later.
