Customer Review:
"Lessons in Disaster" should be required reading for all members of Congress and any elected President, and any American Citizen who loves this country.

3.Legacy of Secrecy: The Long Shadow of the JFK AssassinationLegacy of Secrecy: The Long Shadow of the JFK Assassination
from Counterpoint
Price: $15.65

Customer Review:
Some of the ideas proposed in this book are very interesting and do paint a picture that something was going on behind JFK's back. This book is quite the read and may be boring or seem to never end for some readers. The habitual acronym use may confuse people. If you're a hardcore fan of politics or... more info

4.Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas: A Savage Journey to the Heart of the American DreamFear and Loathing in Las Vegas: A Savage Journey to the Heart of the American Dream
from Vintage
Price: $7.25

Customer Review:
I'd already seen the movie (and couldn't have been happier with the casting of Johnny Depp and Benicio del Toro), so I knew approximately what to expect, but as is often the case when books are adapted for the screen, what movies gain in literal representation they lose in flavor of language. And... more info

from Basic Books
Price: $16.18

Customer Review:
This book is not about the "who done it" aspect of the assassination but about building a framework for viewing the transfer of power that took place in the twenty-four hours after the assassination. More than that, it is primarily about LBJ and how he handled the pressures of the change in the... more info

Ron Perlstein has put together a big, sprawling, action packed history of the Sixties that seems to capture all the madness, idealism, and excitement of those challenging times.

8.Wrestling with Moses: How Jane Jacobs Took On New York s Master Builder and Transformed the American CityWrestling with Moses: How Jane Jacobs Took On New York's Master Builder and Transformed the American City
from Random House
Price: $14.08

Customer Review:
Robert Moses has been the 500 pound gorilla in NY history for so long that it is good to see that he was not invincible. The book is written with great admiration for Jacobs, but doesn't descend into vitriol when discussing Moses.

from Penguin Audio
Price: $9.98

Customer Review:
Engagingly written, but riddled with hundreds of basic errors. This book is a work of fan fiction that should never have been published by any reputable publishing house. Avoid it if you wish to know what really happened in those thrilling years.
