b'It\\u2019s 12:31pm on Friday 22nd November 1963, and in Dallas, Texas, President John F. Kennedy lies slumped against his screaming wife, half of his head cradled in her hands and his blood spattered across her elegant pink suit and the seats of their car.\\xa0\\n\\nJust moments earlier, three shots had rung out from the direction of the Texas Book Depository. Or had they? Who had fired the shots? A single gunman - or more? Just who was the oddly detached, vacant-looking man whom left the building minutes later? Why did he murder a Dallas policeman shortly after the shooting? Was he really Kennedy\\u2019s killer, or a red herring, planted by a wider conspiracy? And was he working for the Cubans, the Communists - or the CIA?\\n\\nJoin Tom and Dominic as they plunge into the extraordinary drama of 22 November 1963, from the national shock after the president\\u2019s assassination to the thrilling hunt to track down his assassin.\\n\\n\\n\\n*Dominic\\u2019s book The Fall of the Aztecs is available now from bookshops across the UK - the perfect Christmas present!*\\n\\nTwitter:\\xa0\\n@TheRestHistory\\n@holland_tom\\n@dcsandbrook\\nProducer: Theo Young-Smith\\nExecutive Producers: Jack Davenport + Tony Pastor\\nLearn more about your ad choices.
