Rethinking Camelot offers a compact, critical reassessment of President Kennedy's connection to the Vietnam conflict and the wider Cold War era. The book argues that American institutions and elite political culture — more than isolated personalities — shaped the decisions that led to escalation.

Rather than restoring the idealized Camelot image, the author interrogates the myths that surround JFK and highlights how bureaucratic forces, political norms, and elite consensus constrained or directed U.S. foreign policy. The result is a provocative look at how systems, not just leaders, influence history.

Key points:

  • Focus on institutional and cultural drivers of Cold War policy
  • Concise historical analysis and critical perspective
  • Black Rose Books, 1993 — 172 pages

This seller was incredible. I purchased an inexpensive (used) book and was almost immediately notified that it shipped on the same day I ordered it. I received it within 2 days. It was exactly as described - it looked like it had never even been read! Great service & a great product. Thanks!
