British fears of Kennedy as double crosser and antiwar push
British records reveal 1940 concerns that Joseph Kennedy as ambassador to London was a foul double crosser and could lure Roosevelt into a political deal with Hitler and Mussolini. Welles was labeled an international danger as Cabinet notes show distrust of U.S. aims and Kennedy’s warnings that Britain could not win the war. The papers recount Kennedy’s appeasement stance and the push to replace him with a new ambassador.
