description: The assassination of President John F. Kennedy on 22 November 1963 stunned the world. One week later President Lyndon B. Johnson appointed Earl Warren, chief justice of the United States, to head a commission to investigate the circumstances surrounding these tragic events. This book is a collection of extracts taken directly from the Warren Commission Report. Much has been questioned since, but the fascination of this report lies as much with the findings as with the views and attitudes of the people at the time it was written. The 50 full-page illustrations, many in colour, depict aspects of the lives of John F. Kennedy and his wife Jacqueline - their family life, the campaign and inauguration, hospitality at the White House, presidential tours at home and abroad, the joyous arrival in Dallas on 22 November 1963 - and the fateful cavalcade and its aftermath.
