Am aware of him through the Bush side of JFK lore (ie JFK II, or Dark Legacy) but was utterly unaware he was an ambassador under Kennedy. His name came up in that context in something I was reading last night. It led me to do some searches.
I then came to the following document: http://archive1.jfklibrary.org/JFKPOF/03...-p0004.jpg.
Found in this folder: http://www.jfklibrary.org/Asset-Viewer/A...0-006.aspx
I am now somewhat confused.
The Bush-nazi-CT point of view paints Harriman to be quite the right winger, nazi sympathizer, and villain. Yet this note, while certainly oblique, seems to indicate that he has disdain for Kennedy's war hawk advisors regarding their militaristic Southeast Asia policy.
Any true historians on here who can decipher this for me?
thank you kindly.
