Kennedy's War — David Lee Corley

A war and a president that changed America forever…Newly elected President John F. Kennedy is faced with numerous global events spiraling out of control – aggressive communist expansion, the nuclear arms race, the descending iron curtain, a clandestine invasion of Cuba, and, of course, Vietnam teetering on civil war.Kennedy, a strong believer in espionage and paramilitary operations, is determined to minimize American military involvement whenever possible. He recruits America's best and brightest as his advisors, then tasks the CIA, American military advisors, and Special Operation elements with stopping wars before they can begin.It was a great plan… if only it had worked.Kennedy's War is the story of America's last chance to end the Vietnam conflict before an all-out civil war erupts. Like all the books in the Airmen series, it is full of intrigue, action, and suspense. It's a tale of incredible bravery, deception, and betrayal. No one is innocent. As you will soon read, many carry the blame for the events that led to the Vietnam War.
