A gripping account of the little-known plot that could have put end end to JFKs historic presidency - before it even began.
From the New York Times bestselling authors of The Nazi Conspiracy comes a true, little-known story about the first assassination attempt on John F. Kennedy, right before his inauguration.
Kennedy was infamously assassinated in 1963, ending his historic presidency. But what most people dont know is that JFKs story almost ended before it began - at the hands of a disgruntled sociopathic loner armed with dynamite.
On December 11, 1960, shortly after Kennedys election and before his inauguration, retired postal worker, Richard Pavlick, waited in his parked Buick on a quiet street in Palm Beach, Florida. Pavlick knew when Kennedy would leave his house and where he was going. From there, Pavlick had a simple plan - one that almost changed the course of history.
Written in the page-turning style that is the hallmark of Brad Meltzer and Josh Menschs bestselling series, this is a slice of history vividly brought to life. Meltzer and Mensch are at the top of their game with a brilliant exploration of what couldve been for one of the most compelling leaders of the 20th century.
