Abstract

The first part of this work describes the life and political career of American President John Fitzgerald Kennedy. Secondly, the paper analyzes the events of November 22, 1963, starting with Kennedy's assassination and death. This study is based on the analysis of the writing in Yugoslav daily newspapers Vjesnik and Borba. As shown in the study of the Yugoslav press, we will attempt to demonstrate how the news of the violent murder of the American president during the Cold War was received in the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (SFRY).
