Praise for "If Kennedy Lived"
"It can be an enlightening exercise to challenge the belief that
what happened had to happen. Usually it didn't. In his diverting
"If Kennedy Lived," Greenfield, the veteran political commentator,
asks how things might have played out had John F. Kennedy survived
in Dallas."--"The New York Times Book Review"
"On the 50th anniversary of JFK's assassination, this is the book
to read. An intelligent, often haunting book about what America and
the world would have looked like if John Kennedy had lived . . .
It's a clever, moving book."--Fareed Zakaria
"Greenfield grounds his fictional history in research and
interviews with some of the era's experts and, as in his previous
excursion into alternative history, offers an ending that the
reader will not see coming . . . Kennedy-era followers will enjoy
this book."--"Library Journal"
"Greenfield does good service in demythologizing JFK to suggest
that, had he indeed lived, his second term might have been marked
by scandal and controversy, a Camelot undone by the president's own
proclivities as much as by the events of the time. . . . Well
researched and thought through--an interesting, plausible exercise
in pop history."--"Kirkus Reviews"
Praise for Jeff Greenfield
"Shrewdly written, often riveting, gripping...Thanks to Mr.
Greenfield's own familiarity with American politics and a lot of
energetic research, he turns these twists of fate into accelerating
historical snowballs that rumble through our recent history,
altering the social landscape in ways both small and
large."--Michiko Kakutani, "The New York Times"
"Not only thoughtful and sophisticated, but marked by the author's
enthusiasm. Greenfield is having fun here, and you can feel it on
every page. His scenarios are relentlessly grounded in
plausibility. This is a book political junkies will adore."--Bryan
Burrough, "The Washington Post"
"Satisfying, entertaining, insightful. The key to Greenfield's
success is that he knows his politics and the strengths and
weaknesses of leaders. Greenfield's storytelling is compelling and
his research superb."--"The Miami Herald"
"Historians have long been tantalized by the what-ifs of history.
In the hands of this tremendously gifted storyteller, "Then
Everything Changed "will captivate the reader every step along the
way."--Doris Kearns Goodwin
"You expect intelligence and a devilish sense of humor and a
profound knowledge of political history from Jeff Greenfield. But
there is a deeper, haunting quality to this book as well. By adding
a simple twist of fate, Greenfield brings fresh - and exhilarating
- insights to the history of our times."--Joe Klein, columnist,
"Time "magazine
"Jeff Greenfield has taken the 'what-if' game and turned it into
something else entirely - a trio of thought-provoking, interesting,
and downright clever scenarios that remind us just how much
individuals do matter."--Bob Schieffer, moderator, "Face the
Nation"
