68 Intrigue and Grudges: The Kennedy Case Against the Backdrop of the Cold War
After watching "The Irishman" and still craving more, we discuss a serious issue raised in the film: Was the mafia involved in the assassination of Kennedy? How does Sha Qingqing, a historian, view the 1979 House report that overturned the Warren Commission report? Why were four theories regarding the assassin denied, while two other speculations were not ruled out as possibilities? Why, among the more than 40,000 books about Kennedy, is there still no sufficiently authoritative biography? Listen to this episode.
