The New York Times best-selling authors of Mrs. Kennedy and Me share the stories behind the five infamous, tragic days surrounding JFK?s assassination, published in remembrance of the beloved president on the 50th anniversary of his death.
Clint Hill will forever be remembered as the lone secret service agent who jumped onto the car after President Kennedy was shot, clinging to its sides as it sped toward the hospital. Even now, decades after JFK?s presidency, the public continues to be fascinated with the Kennedys - America?s royal family. To mark the 50th anniversary of President John F. Kennedy?s assassination, Hill recounts his indelible memories of those five days leading up to, and after, that tragic day in November 1963. Hill, as Jackie?s guard, experienced those days firsthand. Hill provides a moment-to-moment narration evoking the feelings and emotions behind the images - clearing up the persistent conspiracy misconceptions along the way.
Told movingly by a man who still wishes he could undo it all, Five Days in November is a rare and deeply personal look at the assassination that affected the entire world and changed the United States forever.

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.
