As a seminal event in late twentieth-century American history, the
assassination of President John F. Kennedy has permeated the American
consciousness in a wide variety of ways. His death has long fascinated
American writers, filmmakers, and artists. The Kennedy Assassination
offers an authoritative, critical exploration of the many ways the
event has been constructed in a range of discourses.

The book looks at a variety of historical, political, and cultural
attempts to understand Kennedy's death. Representations include
journalism from the time; historical accounts and memoirs; official
investigations, government reports, and socio-logical inquiries;
numerous conspiracy theories; novels, plays, and other works of
literature; the Zapruder footage; and photography, avant-garde art,
and Hollywood films.
