Mr. Book just finished John F. Kennedy Anti-Imperalist: His Character And Intentions Revealed In Five Speeches And One Telegram, by Ken McCarthy.

This book was published in June 2024.

This book shows how President Kennedy was opposed to American imperialism and nuclear weapons, by giving the text of five speeches and a telegram while in office. The first two speeches were when he was a member of the Senate. Most of them also included a brief section giving the historical background to the speech. Among the speeches were his famous American University speech on peace and his speech on the nuclear weapon test ban treaty.

As the author correctly pointed out, Kennedy’s opposition to imperialism and desire for peace very likely resulted in his assassination.

I give this book an A.

Goodreads requires grades on a 1-5 star system. In my personal conversion system, an A equates to 5 stars. (A or A+: 5 stars, B+: 4 stars, B: 3 stars, C: 2 stars, D or F: 1 star).
