I 2nd that! This is a series that is long, long overdue in the research community! It's coming at an opportune time now however, with more people paying attention with the Israeli Zionist genocide & ethnic cleansing of Gaza, and to a lesser extent, their brutal spitting on international law in the West Bank. International law means nothing to them - or the US, who stands alone in continuing to support their horrific war crimes in the UN Security Council.

Very, very enlightening. Thank you. I see you said a piece on the USS Liberty was coming. Look forward to it. I would guess that that attack would never have happened without LBJ in the White House. Incidentally, respect your work enormously and particularly your knowledge of the JFK presidency. Can you recommend a book or two on that subject?

The best and most current book on JFK's presidency is America's Last President by Monika Wiesak.

I do know Dulles's coup in Iran in 54 I believe. Screwed the pooch in the Middle East for the last many decades. Slippery slope!
