Just up at Kennedysandking.com is my reevaluation of John Kenneth Galbraith's role in the Kennedy administration, especially in regards to Indochina.
It shows again just how bad David Halberstam's book The Best and the Brightest was. He says that Galbraith was on the periphery of Kennedy's policymaking on the Vietnam issue. It turns out that, as with McNamara, he was dead wrong.
It can now be said just how wrong he was. Galbraith was at the center of the story. He was in the middle of two peace plans, the second one which JFK was enacting at the time of his death. NOt even John Newman realized how key he was.
Anyway, with the help of Richard Parker, we can now set the record straight about an amazing figure:
