It’s horrible.

JFK may not have been as bad a Dem as modern ones but he was no saint at all.

I think he is lionized mostly due to Martyr Syndrome. I see this so much in history, including non-human. Have someone die or worse, be murdered and suddenly they are unforgettable and often a saint.

I was highly gratified some 20 years ago to see a feature in American History mag wherein they had overrated and underrated.

The big thing was Kennedy was overrated. I mean, how does this guy honestly keep hitting the top 10 much less top 5 of presidencies?

It’s interesting that Amazon displayed the front book cover image upside down. They probably think they’re showing disrespect to the book and author. However it’s also symbolic of how the book turns the JFK myth upside down.
