Rethinking Camelot: JFK, the Vietnam War, and U.S. Political Culture, Second Edition

Rethinking Camelot: JFK, the Vietnam War, and U.S. Political Culture, Second Edition by Noam Chomsky
2015 | ISBN: 1608464032 | English | 172 pages | EPUB | 0.4 MB

Rethinking Camelot is a thorough analysis of John F. Kennedy's role in the U/S. invasion of Vietnam and a probing reflection on the elite political culture that allowed and encouraged the Cold War. In it, Chomsky dismisses effort to resurrect Camelot—an attractive American myth portraying JFK as a shining knight promising peace, fooled only by assassins bent on stopping this lone hero who wold have unilaterally withdraws from Vietnam had he lived. Chomsky argues that U.S. institutions and political culture, not individual presidents, are the key to understanding U.S. behavior during Vietnam.
