KILLING KENNEDY The End of Camelot

In a follow-up to the bestselling popular history KILLING LINCOLN, TV host Bill O’Reilly and historical researcher Martin Dugard tackle the assassination of John F. Kennedy, Jr. O’Reilly’s narration is crisp and clear, even with his intense, rapid-fire delivery. While asserting that Oswald probably acted alone, he’s still a bit coy about the possibility of conspiracy. In his conversational tone, O’Reilly relays his fascinating assumptions about key players in Kennedy’s life; it’s almost as if he had been a guest at the Palm Springs pool party where JFK decided to sleep with Marilyn Monroe or he’d watched Lee Harvey Oswald prepare his gun before heading to the Texas Schoolbook Depository. The text is liberally sprinkled with foreshadowing of Kennedy’s imminent death, and O’Reilly delivers these snippets with tedious and needless drama.
