What really drove Joe Kennedy and his sons to seek the White House? How did a JFK “fling” help lead to his transfer to the Pacific in World War II? How did Kennedy really feel about the Space Race and Vietnam? Who was the real-life inspiration for James Bond, one of Kennedy’s favorite authors? Why are there still many questions about JFK’s assassination, six decades later? In this course, we’ll look at John F. Kennedy’s background, his family, his political rise, his presidency, the “zero theory” in American History, and his assassination, especially possible theories, including some information not covered in Our Brush with History. The format will be lecture/discussion, so please bring all of your questions, comments, opinions, etc.
