From Love Field: Our Final Hours with President John F. Kennedy

""Mr. President, you certainly can't say Dallas doesn't love you!"" Connally, Texas's first lady, had just said these words to President John Kennedy as they rode in their open black Lincoln when shots rang out on Nov. 22, 1963, killing the president and wounding the author's husband, Texas governor John Connally. This thin memoir, based on notes that Mrs. Connally made at the time of the shooting, offers little insight into the events of that tragic day. Her description of the security needs that changed her family's life after the assassination and of her acceptance of the Warren Commission's conclusion that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone are not of broad interest. Readers looking for memorials of President Kennedy on this 40th anniversary of his assassination have a wealth of more satisfying books to choose from.
