It's fifty years since President John F Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas on 22 November 1963. The death of the charismatic young man has cast a rosy glow over his presidency and we've selected our ten favourite books about JFK so that you can judge him for yourself. They're here in alphabetical order. (Actually there are eleven books here - we've since received a children's book which we felt should be included.)
