Surrounded by Enemies

What would have happened next if President John Kennedy survived the ambush at Dealey Plaza in Dallas? While historians still debate the actual assassination, "Surrounded by Enemies: What if Kennedy Survived Dallas?" delivers a supercharged but plausible alternative narrative of that era. After the charismatic president is unscathed by the horrifying broad daylight attack, JFK and his attorney-general brother Bobby become the first conspiracy theorists, determined to strike back at their enemies. That's the intriguing premise of this meticulously researched novel by Writers Guild award-winning TV writer/producer Bryce Zabel, who boldly re-imagines a shocking post-1963 political scenario. Without resorting to sci-fi gimmicks, Zabel drives his story with what we now know about the secrets of JFK's presidency. The book brings to life the subsequent political earthquake and Constitutional crisis of the Kennedy years in a world that might have happened just a split-second away from our own.
