What They're Saying
Critics Review
Bill Minutaglio and Steven L. Davis’s Dallas 1963 is a brilliantly written, haunting eulogy to John F Kennedy. By exposing the hatred aimed at our 35th president, the authors demonstrates that America -
not just Lee Harvey Oswald - was ultimately responsible for his death. Every page is an eye opener. Highly recommended! - Douglas Brinkley, professor of history at Rice University and author of CronkiteAll the great personalities of Dallas during the assassination come alive in this superb rendering of a city on a roller coaster into disaster. History has been waiting fifty years for this book - Lawrence Wright, author of The Looming Tower and Going ClearAfter fifty years, it’s a challenge to fashion a new lens with which to view the tragic events of November 22, 1963 - yet Texans [Minutaglio and Davis] pull it off brilliantly - Publishers WeeklyChilling … The authors make a compelling, tacit parallel to today’s running threats by extremist groups - KirkusA thoughtful look at the political and social environment that existed in Dallas at the time of the president’s election … a climate, the authors persuasively argue, of unprecedented turmoil and hatred - BooklistAbout The Author
