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 book looks at a variety of historical, political, and cultural attempts to understand Kennedy's death.
