There are many things we don’t understand and may never know about the Vietnam War. One of those things that we will definitely never know for certain is whether John F. Kennedy would have continued the war had he been reelected. In Marc J. Selverstone’s upcoming book, “The Kennedy Withdrawal: Camelot and the American Commitment to Vietnam,” readers will receive a thorough breakdown of just what Kennedy was considering during his fateful year of 1963.
There is plenty of speculation among historians, authors, and the general populace about exactly who assassinated Kennedy and why he was assassinated. Some speculate it was because Kennedy was planning a withdrawal from the war, something he mentioned in a public speech the month before his death.
