What If JFK Wasn't Shot?

The biggest counterfactual that hangs on the assassination of JFK is this: Would JFK have launched a ground war in the jungles of Vietnam? Don Wildman and his guest Fredrik Logevall explore what might have happened if JFK didn't die. Fredrik Logevall is a Pulitzer Prize winning historian at Harvard who is working on a definitive three-part biography of JFK. The first volume is out now, J FK: Coming of Age in the American Century, 1917-1956. Produced by Freddy Chick. Edited by Aidan Lonergan. Senior Producer was Charlotte Long.
