How JFK Cheated Death: How Brad Meltzer Unearthed a Forgotten Assassination Plot #podcast

In this episode of The James Altucher Show, bestselling author Brad Meltzer discusses his book 'The JFK Conspiracy,' which uncovers a little-known assassination attempt on President John F. Kennedy. The plot, hatched by a disgruntled postal worker Richard Pavlik in 1960, involved seven sticks of dynamite and almost changed history. Meltzer explores this significant incident, JFK's heroic World War II background, his complex personal life, and the cultural context of the 1960s that bred such hate and attempts on his life. The conversation also delves into the Kennedy family dynamics, including the influence of JFK's father, Joseph Kennedy Sr., and the resilient character of Jackie Kennedy. The episode draws comparisons between the political climate of the 1960s and today, emphasizing the recurring themes of division and hate in American politics.
