John F. Kennedy served as President of the United States from 1961 until his assassination in November 1963. An impressive and courageous record as president demonstrates Kennedy’s unmistakable personal fortitude, but his legacy has been tarnished by his lack of faithfulness to his wife Jackie, and evidence he slept with women linked to the mafia and America’s enemies abroad.
My guest for this conversation is Stephen F. Knott, professor of National Security Affairs at the US Naval War College in Rhode Island. He has written nine books, and his next one, Coming to Terms with John F Kennedy, comes out this September. Stephen spent a time in his youth working at the John F Kennedy Library in Boston, a place where he met John’s wife Jackie Kennedy, but also saw first-hand the arrogance so often ascribed to members of the Kennedy family.
