Full of photographs maps and quotes, this stirring account of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in Dallas, Texas tells the facts. While the author acknowledges other theories, there is no conjecture or guesses except to fill in some of the unknowns, and then these are clearly stated as "perhaps". Love the brevity and simplicity. Perfect for the middle school reader.
