Please be aware that Philip Zelikow may have altered the tapes and / or transcripts in the new Kennedy book. Sheldon Stern caught Zelikow on this when researching his book "The Final Failure," and comparing a tape to what Zelikow published in The Kennedy Tapes: Inside the White House during the Cuban Missile Crisis. Stern wrote an article "Errors Still Afflict the Transcript of the Kennedy Presidential Recordings." And another article, "What JFK Really Said."
I still recommend buying the book.
We will have to try to get the original material and compare.
