Publisher's summary

The New York Times best-selling authors of Mrs. Kennedy and Me share the stories behind the five infamous, tragic days surrounding JFK’s assassination, published in remembrance of the beloved president on the 50th anniversary of his death.

Clint Hill will forever be remembered as the lone secret service agent who jumped onto the car after President Kennedy was shot, clinging to its sides as it sped toward the hospital. Even now, decades after JFK’s presidency, the public continues to be fascinated with the Kennedys - America’s royal family. To mark the 50th anniversary of President John F. Kennedy’s assassination, Hill recounts his indelible memories of those five days leading up to, and after, that tragic day in November 1963. Hill, as Jackie’s guard, experienced those days firsthand. Hill provides a moment-to-moment narration evoking the feelings and emotions behind the images - clearing up the persistent conspiracy misconceptions along the way.

Told movingly by a man who still wishes he could undo it all, Five Days in November is a rare and deeply personal look at the assassination that affected the entire world and changed the United States forever.

Any additional comments?

i have read many many books about kennedy and the assassination. This is unique in that it is a first hand account, so even for people who know a lot about it, i would highly recommend. Given length, obviously not a comprehensive history, but really worthwhile.

With highest respect for Mr Hill

It is stunning to note that Mr Hill was the only agent to react. Particularly since Mr Hill did suffer greatly following this life changing event. This is not the place to debate the assassination. I am not a believer of the single gunman theory which was shoved down the throats of Americans and the world. Even the Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza still promotes this theory because it makes money for them. But history matters and truth matters. Now more than ever. Perhaps one day the truth will be revealed.

Five days in November: Five days of U.S. history....

Five days in November is an outstanding comprehensive story of the events that took place on that fateful day in November...Clint Hill was there, an eye witness...saw it all take place...Clint Hill should be remembered as a person of courage & honor...the way he took care of the First Lady, Mrs. Kennedy is honorable...

Amazing Book

This is the only book I have listened to, that I actually found myself overwhelmed with emotion that tears actually fell from my eyes while listening. A very beautifully written and narrated book, of such a tragic day in America’s history.

Best Book With Truthful Storytelling

Loved listening to this book from the first chapter to the last. Very visual descriptions with incredible details about the minute by minute sad moments in JFK's assassination history. Clint is an unsung hero.

I appreciate his service, but he has clearly kissed the ring of the Warren Commission

I appreciate his service, but he has clearly kissed the ring of the Warren Commission and is trying to propagate its false narrative.

I'm speechless!

I have been an avid reader for 40+ years and never have I come across a book so well written. I'm glad I listened to it rather than read it in written form as I'm not sure I could have turned the pages fast enough. I knew the ending and yet it was the quickest, and longest, 3 hours and 51 minutes I've spent in quite some time. Although I wasn't born yet when Kennedy was assassinated, his life; his presidency; his values; his strength, have always gripped me in an unexplainable way. I, much like so many others, wonder what our country would look like today had Kennedy not been struck down in the prime of his life and prior to finishing out what may have been two terms in office. I named my daughter, Kennedy, because I feel that name is synonymous with strength and courage and so many other attributes JFK possessed.

Clint Hill did an amazing job bringing JFK, Jackie, and himself into our hearts and minds all while respectfully delivering a heart wrenching experience after 50 years of keeping it inside. I'm relieved for him and the peace he must feel after unburdening himself of that nightmare and hope he is healing.

Jeremy Bobb . . . where do I begin on what an incredible delivery of Mr. Hill's words?! I listen to 6-7 Audible books a week and as much as I've grown to love the work of so many other narrators, Jeremy knocked it out of the park.

I can't say enough about this book, the authors, the narrator, and am grateful to Jack Carr for his podcast when he interviewed Mr. Hill and Mrs. McCubbin-Hill. Jack's podcast has turned me on to so many brilliant people and their work that I can't listen to them fast enough!

The sincere description of Mrs Kennedy's strength.

I liked the entire book. Mr Hill is a very caring man. He felt like he should have done more to save the President.

Clint Hills love for Mrs. Kennedy

I like that Clint Hill sticks to the facts. As much as I’ll like to hear the juicy gossip about everyone, that is not his mission and not his place to tell .
