Description

John F. Kennedy's last great campaign was not for re-election, but for a sustainable peace with the Soviet Union. This is the story of his extraordinary efforts from October 1962 to September 1963.

In this period, Kennedy marshalled the power of oratory and his political skills towards forging a new direction for the world. He gave a series of speeches in which he argued that peace with the Soviets was possible, using his gifts of persuasion on multiple fronts to persuade America, the Soviet Union, and the world that cooperation between the superpowers was both realistic and necessary.

This book gives us a fresh perspective on Kennedy's presidency and an inspiring model for strong leadership and problem solving in our time. It shows how Kennedy emerged from the Cuban Missile Crisis with determination and capabilities to forge a new path for future peacemakers.
