JFK and the Unspeakable

This book delves into the presidency of John F. Kennedy and the circumstances of his assassination.

It argues that Kennedy's transformation from a Cold Warrior to an advocate for peace posed a significant threat to the military and intelligence agencies in the United States.

The author, James W. Douglass, documents how Kennedy's policies, including his attempts to reconcile with Castro and his decision to withdraw from Vietnam, conflicted with the interests of these powerful forces.

The book explores the Bay of Pigs invasion, the Cuban Missile Crisis, and the subsequent cover-up, highlighting the role of 'Unspeakable' forces within the national security state that led to Kennedy's assassination.

Douglass's work is praised for its meticulous research and its unique perspective on the motivations behind Kennedy's assassination.
