Five Days in November Summary

Five Days in November by Clint Hill

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 fiftieth 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 first-hand. Alongside the famous photos everyone is familiar with, Hill provides a moment-to-moment narration evoking the feelings and emotions behind the images-clearing up the persistent conspiracy misconceptions along the way. He also shows us the little-seen photos of Jackie both before and after the terrible event, describing the poignant moments they shared, during that pivotal moment in history.

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

Five Days in November Reviews

A riveting, stunning narrative...among hundreds of books about the assassination, this is the most compelling because Hill lived it. * Herald-Review *
Chronology, photographs and personal knowledge combine to make a memorable commemorative presentation. -- Kirkus
With clear and honest prose free of salaciousness and gossip, Hill (ably assisted by McCubbin) evokes not only a personality both beautiful and brilliant, but also a time when the White House was filled with youth and promise. Of the many words written about Jacqueline Kennedy, these are among the best. -- Kirkus starred review of Mrs Kennedy and Me
[Mrs. Kennedy and Me] conveys a sense of honesty and proves to be an insightful and lovingly penetrating portrait of the Jacqueline Kennedy that Hill came to know. -- USA Today (3 1/2 stars)
Talk about being unable to put a book down; I was enthralled with this memoir from start to finish. -- Liz Smith on Mrs. Kennedy and Me
