Reviews
"A master of the form, James Swanson has brought his formidable storytelling skills to bear on another tragic turning point in American history. His treatment of Dallas 1963 is grand narrative at its finest." -- JON MEACHAM - Pulitzer Prize-winning author of American Lion: Andrew Jackson in the White House and Thomas Jefferson: The Art of Power "HISTORY AS TRUE-CRIME STORY. As he did in his bestselling Manhunt: The 12-Day Chase for Lincoln's Killer, Swanson combines stellar research with a brisk, transporting narrative." -- Washingtonian Magazine End of Days is a fresh, modern contribution to the literature about one of the most heartbreaking crimes in history." -- Washington Post "End of Days reads like a thriller while providing meticulous detail--the true-crime counterpart to Don DeLillo's masterful, speculative novelization, Libra." -- Omnivoracious "Absorbing and fast-paced." -- Associated Press "Skillful... Authoritative... Swanson's narrative gifts inject fresh suspense into the story of JFK's slaying." -- National Review "With a gift for storytelling, an ability to juxtapose events in the lives of killer and victim and an eye for the revelatory detail, Swanson offers a gripping account... the energy and devotion he brings to this endeavor rekindles the emotions of a half-century ago..." -- Richmond Times-Dispatch "A crisp, readable recital of the events surrounding the run-up to Nov. 22 and the aftermath." -- Dallas Morning News "Swanson makes history read like a crime thriller, vividly re-creating the details surrounding the shooting through the perspectives of the killer, the victim, and those closest to them." -- Parade Magazine
