Naked Presidents: An Alternate History

Product Information

Perhaps stating the obvious, the plot itself goes a long way toward achieving that in this novel-as-thought-experiment, although the characters of JFK and Clinton ultimately remain two dimensional men; we get to see very little of their thoughts aside from their shared sexual obsession, and interestingly it is the two leading women in this saga, Judith Exner (in the JFK section) and Hillary Clinton, who become fully realized human beings. Because of this, his book ends up being more an artifact of the Clinton years than an enduring work of alternate history that is valuable in its own right.

Other authors have made such an effort in nonfiction works, so Silver’s novel is a change of pace in that regard.

I find it a bit of a hard stretch on the career Air Force thing (not that he was cowardly, I just think he would have transitioned into the private sector/ political arena sooner). More than a work of fiction, Naked Presidents is a philosophical novel which explodes conventional wisdom and destroys some of our most cherished myths.But again, the story was not improved by long drawn out descriptions of the characters' sexual activity. By contrast Bill Clinton’s presidency is cut short by his assassination on November 22, 1995, thus leaving him a martyred president with no extramarital dalliance in the White House to sully his historical reputation.

Kennedy does not face an assassination attempt in Dallas, but goes on to a successful reelection, only to face impeachment when his affair with Judith Campbell is revealed.
