I’ve just recently read “Killing Kennedy: The End of Camelot” by Bill O’Reilly and Martin Dugard. The focus of the book is on John F. Kennedy, Jackie Kennedy, Lyndon B. Johnson, and Lee H. Oswald. It is a non-fiction story about the presidential years of JFK along with some bits of his personal life. Covering foreign affairs along with marital affairs; all leading up to his assassination. The story takes place in the years of 1960-1963.

“Killing Kennedy” tells JFK’s story in vivid detail; almost too much detail in certain parts. All of the pieces are put together by giving background of other characters stories like Jackie Kennedy and Lee Harvey Oswald. The story jumps from Oswald’s plotting against anti-communists to the president’s affairs with other countries, like the Bay of Pigs situation, and his affairs with other women, like Marilyn Monroe. Jackie Kennedy is a treasure to the nation. Some believe JFK would not have gotten as far as he did if it were not for his wife, Jackie. I found the entire story interesting and I love seeing all the different views of the story leading into one another.

I believe that people who are into politics will definitely like this story. Even if politics is not your strong suit, the plot its-self is very interesting. There is a bit of detailed gore, so if that is something that makes you uncomfortable, then maybe this is something you should skip. I would give this book a rating of 4/5.
