"JFK: Ordeal in Africa" and "Battling Wall Street: The Kennedy Presidency."

Absolutely agree regarding Summers and Douglass. They not only point out the dots, they point out the ones the government and its toadies in the press have been covering up for almost half a century.

Regarding foreign policy: Things changed after Dallas, starting with Congo and Africa, then the rest of it...returning to the War Is a Racket template.
