Thx for the recommendation..unfortunately you are fixated on Allison's work done in 1971 and disputed by many since.
You may consider some more recent works using de-classified docs. like two books by James Blight "Crisis Years (1991) and Sad and Luminous Days (2002).
On Bay of Pigs.."Brilliant Disaster" by Jim Rasenberger is a must.
BTW: JFK found out 2 days after inaug. about CIA plan from Dwight. E
Could have sent in heavies but instead ignored brass and took the loss.

@AlecBoy006 Alec I totally agree with you, but noone else here does. I like standing up for the underdog, just like LBJ did ;-)
-
@ADAMSIXTIES With all due respect to "zeroceiling," I think you're probably right.
-
@zeroceiling Re the difference between the Kennedy administration's handling of the Bay of Pigs and the missile crisis, I commend to your careful study Professor Graham Allison's work, The Essence of Decision. It has become a classic of political science literature, and rightly so. It will demonstrate the reasons for the "ghastly mistakes" of 1961, in contrast to the successful management of the 1962 crisis.

@zeroceiling Great. Also let me know when yours is, so I'll be ready to flush ;-p

LBJs reason for civil right legislation.
In a phone conversation (on tape at the LBJ Library) with Sen. Russell (D) of Georgia, LBJ said, "That'll keep the niggars voting Democrat for the next 200 years."
-
Pres. Dwight Eisenhower (R) pushed to pass the Civil Rights Act of 1957, but LBJ & friends screwed it to worthless. He ensured a desegregated military.
-
JFK & Al Gore voted against the 57 Civil Rights Act.
-
It was Republicans who founded the Historically Black Colleges and Universities.

...It wouldnt surprise me to find out that LBJ appropriated "civil rights / affirmative action initiatives"..from JFK's 64 platform..and simply took credit....recognizing that Martin Luther King and others unleashed a movement that could not be opposed
..and those changes already started to happen under JFK..
he sure didnt seem to be a man spouting humanitarian issues during his pre presidential tenure...he seemed more like another self promoting politico..prior to ascend to his presidency.
