Description

On this week’s episode, I talk with James DiEugenio, author of five books on John F. Kennedy’s assassination, about a lesser-known aspect of the JFK story: Kennedy’s principled support for nationalist movements that threw off colonial rule after World War II. From Vietnam to Laos to Algeria to Congo to Cuba, Kennedy spoke eloquently for a new approach that supported the aspirations of colonized people to escape the old colonial powers, especially in Africa. It’s not a well-known story, so listen up.
