The President Has Been Shot!: The Assassination of John F. Kennedy Description
A breathtaking and dramatic account of the JFK assassination by the New York Times best-selling author. Swanson transports listeners back to one of the most shocking, sad, and terrifying events in American history. As he did in his best-selling Chasing Lincoln's Killer, he deploys his signature "you are there" style to tell the story of the JFK assassination as it has never been told before.

According to the author, this book was intended for "young readers". As a middle school teacher, I know that the majority of my student's would struggle with Swanson's rich vocabulary at times. As an adult, I enjoyed this book tremendously. I have learned about the events in this book my whole life, listened to my parent's separate accounts of the day, and seen the late President's library. However, there are details in this book that I have not learned before. Swanson believes, since nothing else has been proven, that Lee Harvey Oswald is the sole killer. There is no reason to rate the book poorly because you have a different belief. I happen to admire he isn't trying to fill students' heads with conspiracy theories. He does mention these in the epilogue and explains why he doesn't take these as gospel. I also like that since we don't know everything Lee Harvey Oswald did, that Swanson admits that other events could have happened. Overall, I think this is a good book that shows what JFK's death meant to the nation.
