Description

The life of John F. Kennedy, the 35th President of the United States, is revealed in this comprehensive and meticulously researched biography. Born into an Irish American family that had become wealthy in Boston, Kennedy's early life was marked by his ambition to pursue a career in politics. His meteoric rise to the presidency cemented his status as one of the most mythologized figures in modern history. This first volume of the two-part biography spans the first thirty-nine years of his life, exploring his relationships, experiences during World War II, and his romance with Jacqueline Kennedy. Through extensive research, Harvard professor Fredrik Logevall reconstructs a compelling narrative that brings to light the 'real' John F. Kennedy, shedding new light on this iconic figure.
