Good book about the former Governor of Texas

As the leading civilian expert on the Secret Service, I recommend this book about the former Governor of Texas, John B. Connally (wounded on 11/22/63). There are several gems in this book---for one, the opinion of both former SAIC of the Secret Service WHD, Jerry Behn, and former DNC advance man Jerry Bruno that they would NEVER go to the Dallas Trade Mart...yet, they still decided on it (or, OTHERS decided for them...) Vince Palamara Secret Service expert, History Channel, author of two books, in over 32 other author's books, etc.
