First published in 1964, Warren Leslie's penetrating examination of Dallas in the immediate aftermath of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy is being brought back into print because it is one of the few books - then and now - to provide a sustained, coherent, and serious look at what made this city a "logical" place for the murder of a President.
