"Thorndike Press large print basic"--T.p. verso. A riveting historical narrative of the shocking events surrounding the assassination of John F. Kennedy, and the follow-up to mega-bestselling author Bill O'Reilly's Killing Lincoln. More than a million readers have thrilled to Bill O'Reilly's Killing Lincoln, the page-turning work of nonfiction about the shocking assassination that changed the course of American history. Now the anchor of The O'Reilly Factor; recounts in gripping detail the brutal murder of John Fitzgerald Kennedy--and how a sequence of gunshots on a Dallas afternoon not only killed a beloved president but also sent the nation into the cataclysmic division of the Vietnam War and its culture-changing aftermath. In January 1961, as the Cold War escalates, John F. Kennedy struggles to contain the growth of Communism while he learns the hardships, solitude, and temptations of what it means to be president of the United States. Along the way he acquires a number of formidable enemies, among them Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev, Cuban dictator Fidel Castro, and Alan Dulles, director of the Central Intelligence Agency. In addition, powerful elements of organized crime have begun to talk about targeting the president and his brother, Attorney General Robert Kennedy. In the midst of a 1963 campaign trip to Texas, Kennedy is gunned down by an erratic young drifter named Lee Harvey Oswald. The former Marine Corps sharpshooter escapes the scene, only to be caught and shot dead while in police custody. The events leading up to the most notorious crime of the twentieth century are almost as shocking as the assassination itself. Killing Kennedy chronicles both the heroism and deceit of Camelot, bringing history to life in ways that will profoundly move the reader. This may well be the most talked about book of the year.

The fashion of the 1960s featured a number of diverse trends. The mini-skirt was invented in 1965 by Mary Quant. The new generation was ready for new fun clothes and not those of the 50s. The people wanted fun, whimsical, and modern apparel. Most clothes of the 60s were youth driven. It was an absolutely wonderful time to be a model. The clothes were beautiful, youthful, and fun. Commercials got witty and lovable. The decade broke into soo many fashion traditions which started to mirror social movements during the time period. As fashion broke out the girls of the generation became more free and weren't about to take any shit from anyone. For awhile in our history it was a time of equal-ness for some. Bell bottom jeans and tie-dye shirts became another huge trend. In the early 60s all eyes were on First Lady, Jacqueline Kennedy. Pillbox hats and pastel colored, short boxy jackets, and over-sized buttons suits were in. Shifts became a new fashion trend and for evening wear women wore full-skirted ball gowns. Stiletto-heeled shoes were also widely popular. And in the mid 60s FASHION EXPLORED!!! Carnaby Street and Chelsea's Kings Road were virtual fashion parades. Mini dresses, big colored hats, and Velvet mini dresses. The clothing wasn't stiff, it was new and glamorous and fun! I could go on for hours but I think its a good idea to stop here so you can explore it even more. (Photos from Child of the Moon. images from Google)
