The bestselling authors of *Mrs. Kennedy and Me* recount the five tragic days surrounding JFK’s assassination, featuring revealing photographs published to honor the beloved president on the fiftieth anniversary of his death. On November 22, 1963, three shots rang out in Dallas, marking the end of an era for many. A powerful photo of Secret Service agent Clint Hill jumping onto the presidential limousine to shield the President and Mrs. Kennedy captured the moment's urgency. Now, Hill commemorates this anniversary with a stunning collection of over 150 photos, each paired with his insider perspective on those harrowing days. Through poignant narration and rarely seen images, we witness young John Kennedy Jr.’s heartfelt wish to accompany his parents to Texas and the enthusiastic crowds that welcomed the Kennedys. We stand alongside a shaken Lyndon Johnson as he is swiftly sworn in as president and feel the first lady’s unwavering strength as she walks in her husband’s funeral procession through Washington, D.C. This narrative, fifty years in the making, reflects both personal and historical significance, revealing the profound grief of a nation and the deep impact on Hill, who understood from the moment the shots were fired that everything had irrevocably changed.
