Book excerpt: Author James Francis Smith uses excerpts from his Irish-American Story books and his blog www.theirish-americanstory.com to provide a glimpse of what the series contains. He has fashioned an affordable, easy to read, 120-page history that begins with the accomplishments of the Ancient Celts, travels through the Revolutionary War, The Civil War, WWI, WWII, the terrorist attack on 9/11 on to the gem of the book-Kennedy's assassination. His portrayal of what he term. "the four days of Hell." Beginning with Friday November 22's radio announcement that Kennedy had been shot. About being glued to the TV to watch the mournful transfer of the coffin to the Rotunda, with Jackie and Caroline kneeling to say their last goodbye, the eulogies, and the news that Lee Harvey Oswald had been caught. The funeral's described in great detail. Smith doesn't stop there, he selects segments from the Warren Report, the autopsy report describing what took place within the President's limo, reaction to the shooting by Governor and Mrs. Connally, and the Secret Service Agents. Smith takes issue with Bill O'Reilly's book "Killing Kennedy." This synopsis captures a time when the country closed down to mourn their youthful President.It's a book not to be missed.
