Uncool History - Kennedy Assassination

As our Uncool series on history continues...

There's been about a bizillion books and tv specials done on the Kennedy assassination and it is one of those historical moments that everyone should have some perspective on. In my opinion, there are two books that pretty much explain it:

"Death of a President" by William Manchester is pretty much the 'official' version of the events leading up to, during, and following the assassination. This is the book authorized by Jackie and Bobby Kennedy and is a pretty thorough timeline of things.

"Case Closed" by Gerald Posner is to me the definitive refutation of all the Kennedy conspiracy stuff. If you've heard conspiracy theories, have conspiracy theories, think you might want to develop a conspiracy theory about the assassination then you need to read this book. The title says it all.
