Description

Two months after his twenty-first birthday, a young Harvard student arrived in London to join his father as the American Ambassador. This pivotal moment in his life would change and shape him in ways he could hardly imagine.

During his time in London, the young man was drawn into a circle of young aristocrats, including his sister, who was presented at Court that summer. He was fascinated by British history and the tales of the Court of King Arthur, and soon found himself sharing tea with Princess Elizabeth and partying at Blenheim Palace. As the borders closed and the threat of war loomed, he would return from Berlin with a secret Embassy note predicting hostilities within a week.

This early life in London had a profound impact on the young man, shaping his actions and decisions for years to come. In John F. Kennedy: The London Story, the author reveals the extraordinary role Britain played in his life, and how these early events helped shape him into the leader he would become.
