## Description

Touchstone JFK and the Unspeakable: Why He Died and Why It Matters : Douglass, James W.: desertcart.ae: Books

Review: Douglas explains that JFK had to die because his foreign policy stood in the way of powerful commercial interests. Kennedy was trying to make peace with Kruschev and Castro behind the scenes. But both Kennedy and Kruschev were opposed by their military leaders who were hell bent on war. The secret correspondence and dialog between these three is revealed by Douglas to paint a fascinating portrait of how possible world peace was in the 1960's. Kruschev, Castro and Kennedy reveal themselves to be intelligent, empathic leaders all capable of considering the needs of the other sides and willing to negotiate a de-escalation of the cold war in ways the lead to better outcomes for all countries. But that was anathema to the business interests who wanted to exploit Cuba, South America, Asia, and Africa, and which didn't want to compete against Russia or China in international markets or for resources. And so world peace didn't happen. How didn't it happen? James W Douglass takes us through it.
