About the book: 2019 / 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 of not so much who and how did it, why, how much, 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 associated arms race. Kennedy stopped listening to advisers and turned to a deeper ethics and a deeper vision of peace for all. Jim Douglas believes the world would look different today if Kennedy had lived. He immerses the reader in the context of foreign policy in the early 1960s and builds his research on the basis of unique materials, including personal correspondence between Kennedy and Khrushchev.
