Download Five Days in November Epub Free from 4shared, mediafire, hotfile, and mirror link On November 22 , 1963, three shots were fired in Dallas, President John F. Kennedy was assassinated, and the world stopped for four days. For an entire generation, it was the end of an age of innocence.
That evening, a photo ran on the front pages of newspapers across the world, showing a Secret Service agent jumping on the back of the presidential limousine in a desperate attempt to protect the President and Mrs. Kennedy. That agent was Clint Hill.
Now Secret Service Agent Clint Hill commemorates the fiftieth anniversary of the tragedy with this stunning book containing more than 150 photos, each accompanied by Hill’s incomparable insider account of those terrible days. With poignant narration accompanying rarely seen images, we witness three-year-old John Kennedy Jr.’s pleas to come to Texas with his parents and the rapturous crowds of mixed ages and races that greeted the Kennedys at every stop in Texas. We stand beside a shaken Lyndon Johnson as he is hurriedly sworn in as the new president. We experience the first lady’s steely courage when she insists on walking through the streets of Washington, D.C., in her husband’s funeral procession.
A story that has taken Clint Hill fifty years to tell, this is a work of personal and historical scope. Besides the unbearable grief of a nation and the monumental consequences of the event, the death of JFK was a personal blow to a man sworn to protect the first family, and who knew, from the moment the shots rang out in Dallas, that nothing would ever be the same.

Yesterday I purchased Mr. Hill’s book, “Five Days in November.” I brought it home and could not put it down. I take issue with the Publisher’s Weekly comment about “Five Days in November;” “Sometimes those details are unnecessary and his precise recollection of them seems difficult to believe.” You’ve got to be kidding me, really? NO detail is unnecessary if it shines a light on one of America’s darkest days; the day the President of the United States died.
Mr. Hill is first, last, and always a Secret Service agent trained to look and remember details; and his recollection’s, I am sure, are right on target. Most of us, and I am including the person who represent’s Publisher’s Weekly, might forget where we left our keys, etc., but this is a trained agent who eyes record all that he sees and in such a horrific situation I am sure those memories never dim as evident by his book.
The detail is extraordinary; leaving the White House, flying to Texas, the motorcade, Dallas, Parkland Hospital, Love Field, the flight back to Washington, Bethesda, and then the funeral. One part in particular stands out as it did that day I watched the ceremonies at Arlington. I remember that beautiful plane, Air Force One, make a long and low swept over the grave as the mourners stood watching and then, in a instance, tipping its wing. I remember that part so vividly for I started crying and Mr. Hill recaps that in his book with the same feelings I was experiencing.
As for, “. . . the lack of captions represents a lost opportunity,” I find that interesting; the pictures come right before and after the subject matter discussed. All-in-all this is an exceptional book by a man whose memories are as vivid as if it had happened yesterday. Mr.
It was midday November 22nd 1963 a day that would change the course of history and bewilder generations to come. In a short few seconds, the 35th President of the United States and leader of the free world was silenced forever some 50 years ago. This book will give you a moment by moment account of this terrible time from the arrival of JFK in Air Force One to Texas to the shooting on Elm Street in Dallas, and finally the funeral. Clint Hill - the brave secret service agent who we all seen jump on the Limo of the fallen President just seconds after the fatal shooting to protect the 1st Lady and shield the passengers from further danger - has broken his silence with this tell all book.
You will read about his struggle to jump on the accelerating vehicle, the frantic drive to Parkland Hospital, the comments made by Jackie Kennedy, his phone conversion with the President's brother Attorney General Robert Kennedy , and all the behind the scene details of this historic and troubling time.
Clint Hill aided the 1st Lady throughout the entire ordeal and funeral. He is one of very few who bore witness of the assassination, and will give a unique perspective of the events of this tragedy unlike many of the books written to date. He offers his opinion on who the shooter was. The book is very readable and paces along making it difficult to put down. I read a few books about this faithful day, and I believe this one will be my last. I think Clint Hill has told the final story of this sad day, and I'm satisfied to put closure to this event in history. Mr. Hill has finalized it for me. A great book written by an honorable man, and I pray he will find closure and peace as well.
I'm glad I read this short book.
