Philadelphia, PA-NJ (1888PressRelease)
December 17, 2007 - "In the Shadow of the Sphinx: A New Look at the Bay of Pigs and JFK Assassination", Xlibris’ most recent publication, is currently attracting media attention for bagging the only award in the General History Category on the recently-concluded USABookNews.com National Best Books 2007 Awards.
Dr. Frank R. Durr’s text provides the readers with a new look on the fatal bullet that killed President John F. Kennedy in Dallas on November 22, 1963. The event came as much of a shock to the world as Pearl Harbor and the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. Durr recreates JFK’s assassination, that dark day’s somber mood and its aftermath.
In the Shadow of the Sphinx is a thought-provoking read and is available at Xlibris.com.
