Caroline Kennedy, on the way to her father’s funeral, winding down the limousine window to hold agent Bob Foster’s hand as he walks alongside. Oswald is the guilty lone-nut again by utilising partial testimony. "Bob Edwards and Ronald Fischer are on their lunch break, and standing on the edge of the kerb. Bob punches Ronald on the shoulder. 'Look at that guy there in that window. He looks like he's hiding from someone amongst those boxes!" Yet, a little further research shows that Fischer later said that he thought the shots came from just west of the TSBD and Fischer later told researcher Larry Harris that he did not think the man in the window was Oswald, insisting that the man in the window had light coloured hair. On the plus side for this book, I haven't found any spelling or typo errors anywhere. Therefore there is no excuse for TSBD superintendent Roy Truly to be repeatedly referred to as Ron. Or for that matter deputy sheriff 'Buddy' Walthers' name to be given as Walters.

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. This is not a whodunit, a search for reasons or an attempt to put the events in any political context.

I did enjoy the book despite giving it a 3 star rating and it did only take a couple of sittings to complete. Right at the beginning of the book, Mayo writes that he will focus on the facts rather than any conspiracy theories surrounding the assassination. Whilst it was good that he did make that clear from the beginning and the reader knows what to expect, I cant help but want more analysis around the theories. It would have been nice to read a bit of a debate, did Oswald assassinate JFK or not? Brilliant and refreshing! No conspiracy theories, just notes and statements from real people involved in the assassination and by standers observations. It deserves its place among the 40,000 or so books penned about JFK for its vivid detail, its approach to history and for simply telling it straight.

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. 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.
