The United States doesn't support royalty, but if it did, the Kennedys would be royals. One of them, so obviously a prince, was elected President-our democratic version of a king-and then he was killed. LIFE The Day Kennedy Died takes you back to that fateful day in Dallas. President John F. Kennedy had been urged by some in his administration not to make the trip, but others insisted just how important Texas would be to his reelection. And so he went. The Kennedy's began their day, on November 23, 1963, in Fort Worth, Texas-John looking dapper as ever; Jackie wearing a pink number fastened with Chanel buttons, a suit that would go on to be perhaps the most famous in history. They made their rounds in Fort Worth and went off to the airport, taking the quick flight to Dallas where they would eventually end up in a convertible with Governor John Connally. In this Special Edition from the editors of LIFE, the story is told with painstaking detail, a complete timeline alongside beautiful photography. Also included, accompanied by the wonderful, trademark LIFE narrative, are the essential frames from the Zapruder film, including the infamous Frame 313 that LIFE withheld from its original issue-the only time LIFE's iconic logo has been printed in black. You'll learn about the man who killed President Kennedy, Lee Harvey Oswald, as well as gain a sense of who the Kennedys were as a family-their home life, the time they spent with their children-before everything was taken away. A necessary and authoritative keepsake that chronicles one of the most historic events of the 20th century, LIFE The Day Kennedy Died is the perfect addition to any American's bookshelf.
