Different versions of the assassination of John Kennedy have been described many times, but for the first time we encounter a thorough and objective study not so much of who and how did it, but why, and most importantly, why. Who benefited from this? Who and what did the president interfere with? After the successful resolution of the Cuban Missile Crisis, President Kennedy made a radical U-turn: he decided to end the Cold War and the arms race associated with it. Kennedy stopped listening to advisers and turned to a deeper ethics and a deeper vision of a world for everyone. Jim Douglas believes that the world would look different today if Kennedy had lived. He immerses the reader in the foreign policy context of the early 1960s and builds his research on unique materials, including personal correspondence between Kennedy and Khrushchev.
