Description
The assassination of President John F. Kennedy remains one of the most enduring unsolved mysteries of the 20th century. James W. Douglass sheds new light on the events surrounding Kennedy's death, revealing a complex web of motives and conspiracies that went far beyond a simple act of violence. At the heart of the story is Kennedy's shift in policy towards a lasting peace, which threatened the power and influence of the military and intelligence agencies. As the Cold War raged on, these forces saw Kennedy's change of heart as a direct threat to their goals, and they plotted his assassination and orchestrated a cover-up. Douglass takes readers on a journey through the key moments leading up to the assassination, including the Cuban Missile Crisis and the events surrounding Lee Harvey Oswald. Through meticulous research and analysis, Douglass reveals the dark forces that drove the assassination, and why it still matters today. This thought-provoking book is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in understanding the complexities of American history and the enduring legacy of the Kennedy presidency.
