Heartland’s Tim Benson is joined by Stephen F. Knott, professor of national security affairs at Naval War College, to discuss his new book, Coming to Terms with John F. Kennedy. They chat about the mystique around JFK and why it still continues to hold, in some form, almost 60 years after his assassination. They also talk about Kennedy’s approach to civil rights, what would have happened with Vietnam if he had survived his fatal trip to Dallas and won a second term, and what his legacy should be today.
