The Death of a President: November 20–November 25, 1963 is historian William Manchester's 1967 account of the assassination of US President John F Kennedy. The book gained public attention before it was published when Kennedy's widow Jacqueline, who had initially asked Manchester to write the book, demanded that the author make changes in the manuscript ( which he did). The book chronicles several days in 1963, from a small reception the Kennedys hosted in the White House the evening of the visit to Dallas, through the flight to Texas, the motorcade, the assassination, the hospital, the airplane journey back to Washington DC, and the funeral. The tension between the Kennedy and Johnson factions, the worldwide reaction, and Lee Harvey Oswald's televised murder by Jack Ruby are all discussed in minute by minute detail. With maps, diagrams, schematics of aur force one, the hospital, and the funeral route.
As detailed a book as exists on the events in Dallas.
