Camelot and the Cultural Revolution: How the Assassination of John F. Kennedy Shattered American Liberalism

Camelot and the Cultural Revolution: How the Assassination of John F. Kennedy Shattered American Liberalism

James Piereson examines the bizarre aftermath of John F. Kennedy's assassination: Why in the years after the assassination did the American Left become preoccupied with conspiratorial thinking? How and why was Kennedy transformed in death into a liberal icon and a martyr for civil rights? In what way was the assassination linked to the collapse of mid-century liberalism, a doctrine which until 1963 was the reigning philosophy of the nation?
