Kennedy's Only Hero

November 3, 2026·51 min
Episode Description from the Publisher

Today I sit down with author and historian, Joel Nelson, to discuss his book Kennedy's Only Hero: How JFK's Obsession with Winston Churchill Defined His Presidency. It is rare to get a biographical piece that features the two most common biographies I get. But it happened! This masterful piece examines how Churchill changed JFK in multiple ways - several of which we break down in the interview. The book is a great read for lovers of JFK, Churchill, western history, and everyone in between. Buy the book HERE. Western Civ 2.0
