it was amazing
bookshelves: favourites, true-crime

Got this download as part of an Audible try-out. Not my favourite way of consuming books, though.
This was fascinating as it featured all the newsmen on the scene and their phonecalls into their offices relating what was happening, and other interviews by personnel close to the action before and after he died. Some of this audio has never been heard till now. I'm a real Kennedy buff and there was lots I'd not heard before so I greatly enjoyed it.
Near the end we hear the footage from his funeral live. Hearing Airforce 1 making its flypast, then the gun salute followed by Taps (we have The Last Post over here which is slightly different) was almost the undoing of me.....I know I'd have been absolutely sobbing if I was watching live.
We're always getting little bits 'n' pieces released piecemeal so I expect we still have SO much to learn, though I fear so much won't be released in my lifetime, unfortunately.
Well worth a listen, I have to say.
