Summary: Killing Kennedy: The End of Camelot

Summary: Killing Kennedy: The End of Camelot -- Bill O'Reilly by Save Time Summaries is not a book, it is a summary that creates the time line of events much like "Cliff Notes". There is enough detail given to understand what is going on and when but there is not a lot of the background and insights that you would find in the book.This summary starts off with who Bill O'Reilly is and that he proposes that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in the assassination of President Kennedy despite there is evidence that a conspiracy existed. It does not go into any detail about this evidence, it just mentions there is evidence. Then it gives a brief background on the Kennedy's as a family and the history of JFK's milestones right up to his winning the election defeating Vice President Richard Nixon. Then there is a more details given about his presidency and dealing with the unpopular 'conflict' known now as the Vietnam War, plus the Cold War with the Soviet Union. It further explains his relationship with his brother Bobby who is the Attorney General and the relationship the Kennedy's had with organized crime.At this time was also the civil rights movement and JFK arrange a meeting the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. Then it mentions that JFK was warned by the FBI that King has alleged associations with Communist sympathizers and other radicals which is something I never knew. I wish it went into a little more detail about this.Kennedy tries to win support in Texas and had chosen Lyndon Johnson of Texas as his running mate. He planned the visit to Texas since he needs their support to win in his 1964 re-election bid. Then it goes into a little more detail of him and "Lady Bird" landing in Texas in Air Force One, his actions on the tarmac and even about weather and bubble top on the car which Kennedy didn't care for. In fact, even what they wore and what was said was revealed. Then how they finally get into the car and head off to the Dallas Trade Mart where JFK was scheduled to give a luncheon speech.The next chapters were about Oswald and his life, work, and how he gave up US citizenship to be a Russian Citizen and then again how he reversed it to come back to the US. It is a brief description which leads up to how he got to be at the School Book Depository Building as the motorcade approaches. It ends with the possible last words JFK heard.Again, this is a time line summary of events, not a book. If you want to know details then you should read the book however if you just need the events and when they took place then I suggest this summary.

This summary gives the important facts and need to knows of the book Killing Kennedy: The End of Camelot by Bill O'Reilly. It starts off with covering main and key points about John F. Kennedy and his early presidency. It tells of how he became a war hero and of the presidential election that gave the United States their youngest president in history. You also get a little look into how JFK handled political affairs, and about his right hand man, his brother Bobby (RFK). Jackie Kennedy is summarized as the first lady loved by everyone, in that every where JFK took her she was adored by everyone. And Finally, you get into that final day and the final moments of JFK. His trip to Texas, the roar of the crowd at his and Jackie's appearance, and the final words that he heard before being shot and killed by Lee Harvey Oswald. Though I am a fan of simply reading the books and information for myself, I have to say that this summary was very well done. I was able to understand what O'Reily's book covered just through reading this, without having to read it. There was no confusion as to what was covered. Good job the the author of the summary!

This summary goes over the beginnings of Kennedy's presidency. It gives a brief glimpse at his personality and how he handled various political affairs. As it approaches the subject of his assassination, the summary slows down and focuses in on various details, both critical and small. It spends time detailing Oswald's history, and ends without covering any information about the subsequent investigation. So if you're looking for any information that extends past the assassination, this summary does not cover it.Essentially this summary distils the information in Killing Kennedy down to essential bullet points. If you're short on time this is a good way to get up to speed quickly. It's a well written and concise summary.

just started it, am going to get all in series i dont have ten more words for it too bad

I feel that we are all aware of the Kennedy Dynasty, and their tragic ends. It is too close in time to the actual assination not to recall all the happenings/

Like an outline -- not much information.Same information that has been givenon television. Don't waste money on thisproduct.

I liked both the tone and pase of the book although no new facts are shown the historic recollect is very good
