Jerry M. (jamblazer) reviewed Camelot and the Cultural Revolution: How the Assassination of John F. Kennedy Shattered American Liberalism on + 21 more book reviews
Exceptional book, well thought out conclusions from known facts.
Unexpected take on JFK assassination, and the follow-on political and cultural crises of the 1960's and 1970's. All factual, written very well, and will leave you with a better understanding of why things in America went so downhill after this event.
Author starts with assumption that Oswald acted alone in his killing of JFK, and builds his case around that assumption, which has not been disproved in over 50 years. This one act, by one man, resulted in a national malaise and loss of hope in liberal ideas and the notion that things would just continue to get better. Protests against the Vietnam War, further assassinations of Martin Luther King and Robert Kennedy -- all can related back to the JFK killing.
To me, the author's conclusions bear a remarkable similarity to the actions of just 13 terrorists on September 11, 2001, and the resulting worldwide chaos that started that day and continues on today.
