If Kennedy Lived: The First and Second Terms of President John F. Kennedy: An Alternate History (2013) is a book by Jeff Greenfield. Greenfield imagines how history might have unfolded had Kennedy survived Dallas in 1963. He follows a second term through Vietnam, civil rights and the 1960s, asking which of the decade's later turns depended on the assassination and which did not.

- Fareed Zakaria: “This week's book of the week is "If Kennedy Lived" by Jeff Greenfield. On the 50th anniversary of JFK's assassination, this is the book to read. An intelligent, often haunting book about what America and the world would have looked like if John Kennedy had lived. Spoiler alert, according to Greenfield, no Vietnam, but no Civil Rights Act either. It's a clever, moving book.”
