Parkland
Parkland is a gripping historical narrative that dives into the chaotic aftermath of President John F. Kennedy's assassination on November 22, 1963. This paperback offers readers a focused, ground-level view of a defining moment in American history, weaving together the perspectives of Parkland Hospital staff, Secret Service officials, journalists, FBI agents, and the new leadership of a shaken nation. Written for history buffs, students, and curious readers alike, Parkland is a sober, hopeful, and immersive journey into resilience under pressure.
