Danny and Derek speak with the political scientist Aaron Good, author of American Exception: Empire and the Deep State and the new podcast American Exception, about the JFK assassination. They delve into the conspiracy theories surrounding the assassination, the  idea of Kennedy as a "peacenik," why it's important to study the assassination, and much more.

Fredrik Logevall's essay "Kennedy and What Might Have Been" can be found in The Vietnam War: An Intimate History by Ken Burns and Geoffrey C. Ward.
