I lived through it all as a young adult, and had voted for JFK as a strong anti-Communist, liberal. Kennedy was a rather ineffectual President, although he was a free market capitalist who lowered taxes, and certainly recognized Communism for the threat it posed world wide. The left disliked him for it, but after his death, quickly created a narrative to explain his death in line with their radical, capitalism loathing philosophy. Compare Ted Kennedy’s views with his brother’s to see how those ’60′s radicals have changed the Democratic party. I must praise Mr. Piereson for the courage it took to write the book. He should take it as a compliment that the Sterngolds of the world are screaming bloody murder. The book struck home.
