Biography
Alice L. George is an independent historian. She is the author of Awaiting Armageddon: How Americans Faced the Cuban Missile Crisis.
"Amazingly, almost a half century after the event, students and the general public remain fascinated by the Kennedy assassination. Alice George deftly provides the context and balance so often missing from overheated discussions of the event. She opens a wide window, treating Kennedy, the man and the myth—and rendering a sense of the horror and intensity of November 22, 1963 and its aftermath. This is a valuable, well-researched, thoughtful work."
Ed Wehrle, author of Between a River and a Mountain: The AFL-CIO and the Vietnam War, 1947-1975
"Alice George gives us an admirably concise account of the events and circumstances immediately surrounding President Kennedy’s death as well as a marvelously balanced, even-handed analysis of the competing theories of the crime. She skillfully employs her dual skills as a professional journalist and historian to bring forth a marvelously paced narrative, interspersed with firsthand accounts and important documents that will stoke the memories of those who were alive in November 1963 as well as spark the interest of those for whom the JFK assassination may be more myth than history."
James Hilty, author of Robert Kennedy: Brother Protector
