description: An eBook short. This account of the Kennedy assassination (the most riveting ever says The New York Times) is taken from Robert A. Caro's brilliant and bestselling The Passage of Power. Here is that tragic day in Dallas alive with startling details reported for the first time by the two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning author. Just as scandals that might end his career are about to break over Lyndon Johnson's head the motorcade containing the presidential party is making its slow and triumphant way along the streets of Dallas. In Caro's breathtakingly vivid narrative we witness the shots the procession speeding to Parkland Memorial Hospital the moment when Kennedy aide Kenneth O'Donnell tells Johnson He's gone and Johnson's iconic swearing in on Air Force One. Compelling.
