Book Synopsis

For sixty years, the perceived elegance and idealism of the Kennedy presidency has come to be known as the Era of Camelot. Like the fabled reference to another time, "Frozen Camelot" is the incredible story of how a little-known actor, Lawrence Hinsdale, became JFK's presidential double. The double was originally used sparingly and for rare appearances, mostly to simply wave at crowds, but as time went on, Hinsdale's involvement progressed into a much more dynamic role. His ability to project a healthy version of JFK became ever more important as John Kennedy's health deteriorated. In the end, we are left with the essential question: who was assassinated on November 22nd, 1963? Was it the secret double, or was it JFK?
