"Confusion about Kennedy's assassination"

edit

Quoting the article: "The book was released in 1969, a year after Kennedy's assassination."

JFK was assassinated in 1963, so something is wrong with that phrase. I am not sure what the author meant (the book was written a year after JFK assassination, and released in 1969, or if the book was released in 1964, and "1969" is just a typo, or what?), so I am not going to change the article. Could someone help me here? --201.6.118.145 20:08, 16 October 2005 (UTC)Reply

RFK was assinated in 1967 or 68 while running for the democratic nomination for the 68 election. The book was relesed after his assination. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 143.110.110.207 (talk) 21:07, 6 December 2005
FYI, RFK was assassinated in 1968, on June 6. JustinTime55 (talk) 21:30, 16 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

The link to the film shouldn't be there, though it should be a Dablink or For template. The book was used as a source for The Missiles of October. Thirteen Days (film) was based on an entirely different book, and just stole the title. JustinTime55 (talk) 21:30, 16 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

Poorly written "synopsis"

edit

My god, the "synopsis" looks like the work of a high school freshman who just realized he had to read a book and write a report on it the night before it was due. Egregious errors include: "memoir" and "novel" used as interchangeable terms, and referring to RFK as "Rob," a name he never used.
