I am currently researching the role played by William Attwood played in conducting negotiations with Castro for JFK in 1963.
http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/JFKattwood.htm Does anybody know anything about his career before becoming US Ambassador to Guinea in 1961? I know he edited Look Magazine. Does anyone have the dates? Attwood seemed to be serving as adviser to Adlai Stevenson, the United States representative to the United Nations, at the same time as being US Ambassador to Guinea. Is that right? Does anybody know anything about the role Attwood played in negotiating with Castro for Jimmy Carter? Why did Carter abandon these negotiations? Did Attwood reveal anything about the assassination of JFK in his books, Making It Through Middle Age (1982) and The Twilight Struggle: Tales of the Cold War (1987). |
