Here's another ...

Guess it all depends on what you want to read up on? JFK the man and what he stood for, his vision for America, his administrations policy's, his untimely and tragic death (not just for him, but for us) etc... There is a book with a CD of all his public speeches, name of the book escapes me at the moment, but worth looking into also. All the best, and Peace.

2. A book on J. Edgar Hoover

J. Edgar Hoover: The Man and the Secrets, by Curt Gentry. Excellent on the assassination on cover up. Did you know that Gerald Ford was Hoover's man on the Warren Commission? Hoover had a tape of Ford trysting in The Watergate Hotel.

3. Richard Reeves is pretty good

4. "An Unfinished Life" by Robert Dallek is pretty good

It chronicles Kennedy's entire life but actually doesn't spend much time on the assassination. I was really impressed by Caro's retelling of the day of the assassination and the transition of power. It was in his most recent Johnson book, "The Passage of Power" (the entire series of books by Caro is great).
