JFK is in Texas because he 'needs to win friends in the South' as his support for civil rights has dented his popularity and there is an election just a year away. Released 60 years to the day since President John Fitzgerald Kennedy took that fateful drive through Dealey Plaza in Dallas, this painstaking and impressive two-part documentary examines in detail the time leading up to and following the assassination of the 35th president of the United States.

Brilliant and refreshing! No conspiracy theories, just notes and statements from real people involved in the assassination and by standers observations. Tonight (Friday 10 March 2023), Channel 5 broadcasts an episode of the series The Killing Of Jfk: Minute By Minute! Episode Summary Mayo has a great eye for detail that brings history to life and creates a compelling narrative. Anyone who had a part to play in the story, however small, is here. On the evening of 22nd November 2013, exactly 50 years on, The Assassination of JFK: Minute by Minute will tell the story of the murder of President Kennedy, from half an hour before Lee Harvey Oswald pulls the trigger, to Lyndon B. Johnson being sworn in two and half hours later.

Meanwhile Charles F Dameron, news editor of the 'Dallas Times Herald' is planning the day with military precision as he fears 'some nut will do something stupid'. And that is exactly what happens and the testimony of those immediately or peripherally involved is given in graphic detail. And the overriding feeling that comes out from the descriptions of his activity in the Book Depository by those around him at the time, and remember this is not a conspiracy theory book, is that Lee Harvey Oswald is the shooter.

After already reading a Mayo book, I feel I knew what to expect from this read. A very factual account of the events surrounding the assassination of JFK including the time each event took place. I loved Hitler's Last Day as it gave some really interesting facts and facts that maybe wasn't that widely known, however, this book seems to be very straightforward and includes nothing that hasn't already been written before. Mayo presents the unfolding story in a style reminiscent of a Fifties true crime movie, using memoirs and statements given under oath.

This is the story of JFK's assassination as told from the frontline: it is about the people - from the highest to the lowest - who were caught up in that four-day whirlwind in November 1963 A compelling investigation into the circumstances surrounding the infamous assassination from three key angles, with new information regarding what J. Edgar Hoover knew prior to the shooting. What Time is the Episode On? This is not a whodunit, a search for reasons or an attempt to put the events in any political context.

The theories that abound surrounding JFK’s death may have conspired to lessen the horror of the event. Reporter Hugh Aynesworth took notes on the biggest story of his life on an electricity bill, scribbling with a pencil he bought from a small boy. For the people embroiled in the chaos that took place between those two dates, for Americans and for the wider world things would never be the same again.
