From one of the country’s most brilliant political commentators, the bestselling author of Then Everything Changed, an extraordinary, thought-provoking take a look at Kennedy’s presidency-after November 22, 1963.

November 22, 1963: JFK will not pass away. What would happen to his life, his presidency, his country, his world?

In Then Everything Changed, Jeff Greenfield created an “utterly convincing” (Joe Klein), “riveting” (The New York Situations), “eye-opening” (Peggy Noonan), “captivating” (Doris Kearns about If Kennedy Lived: The First and Second Conditions of President John F. Kennedy: An Alternate Background Goodwin) exploration of three contemporary alternate histories, “with the kind of political insight and imagination only he possesses” (David Gregory). Based on memoirs, histories, oral histories, fresh confirming, and his very own knowledge of the players, the publication looked at the tiny hinges of history-and the outstanding changes that could have resulted if they had opted another way.

Today he presents his most compelling narrative of most approximately the historical event that has riveted us for fifty years. What if Kennedy were not wiped out that fateful time? What would the 1964 advertising campaign have appeared as if? Would changes have already been made to the ticket? How would Kennedy, in his second term, possess approached Vietnam, civil rights, the Cold War? With Hoover as an enemy, would his indiscreet personal life finally have grown to be public? Would his medical issues have become therefore severe as to literally cripple his presidency? And what small turns of fate in the days and years before Dallas may have held him from ever achieving the White House to begin with?

As with After that Everything Changed, the answers Greenfield provides and the scenarios he develops are startlingly realistic, rich in detail, shocking in their projections, but often deeply, remarkably plausible. It is a tour de force of American politics history.
