It Did Not Start with JFK

In It Did Not Start with JFK, Walter Herbst explores the deep-rooted right-wing anti-Communist movement that emerged during Franklin Roosevelt’s presidency and gained momentum over the following decades. The book examines how this movement, comprising military, intelligence, business leaders, and extremists, sought to oppose America's progressive changes, including the civil rights movement, and how its members, sometimes willing to go to treasonous lengths, may be connected to the events surrounding JFK’s assassination. Herbst delves into the historical context leading up to Kennedy’s presidency to uncover the motivations behind the plot to remove him from power.
