In The Dark Side of Camelot, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Seymour M. Hersh offers a provocative examination of John F. Kennedy's presidency, challenging the idealized narrative of the "Camelot" era. Drawing from extensive interviews and previously unreleased documents, Hersh delves into allegations of political corruption, personal indiscretions, and covert operations that characterized JFK's time in office. The book scrutinizes the Kennedy family's influence, suggesting that their power and wealth insulated them from accountability. Hersh's investigative work sparked significant controversy, particularly due to its reliance on anonymous sources and the inclusion of unverified claims, leading to debates about journalistic ethics and the boundaries of public interest. Despite the controversies, The Dark Side of Camelot remains a compelling read for those interested in a critical perspective on one of America's most iconic political figures.
