Five Days in November by Clint Hill

4.0

I, like so many other Americans, can remember with amazing clarity where I was when I learned that President Kennedy had been assassinated. Former Secret Service Agent Clint Hill, assigned to protect the First Lady, has written a book about the assassination and the events of that weekend that followed from a perspective that only he has. While I thought that I knew a lot about these events, in fact, I stood in line for hours to view the casket in the Capitol and watched the funeral procession move through the streets of Washington, D.C., I found that there was much that I didn't know. I ended up reading this book in one evening and was surprised at the strength of the emotions that it evoked. Recommended for anyone wanted to read a concise and moving account of those dark days in November fifty years ago.
