The Dark Side of Camelot

The Dark Side of Camelot is a book by Seymour M. Hersh, published by Little, Brown in 1997.

Author Edward Jay Epstein stated that the book argues that John F. Kennedy's image was presented in too pristine of a way, and sought to show "a far more sinister vision" of the president.[1]

Thomas Powers wrote that, as the work is based so much on Hersh's statements and assertions, the work "is a reporter's book, not a historian's."[2]
