Clint Hill became a hero & role model for me when I was 11 and saw the pictures of him trying to help President & Mrs. Kennedy during the sickening attack that took JFK's life. His book will be an important part of understanding the tragedy and the riff raff that developed after it that confuses people as to what happened that day in Dallas. Thank you for sharing this look at his life.
