Half a century after his assassination, John F. Kennedy
continues to evoke widespread fascination, looming large in America
s historical memory. Popular portrayals often show Kennedy as a
mythic, heroic figure, but these depictions can obscure the details
of the president s actual achievements and challenges. Despite the
short length of his time in office, during his presidency, Kennedy
dealt with many of the issues that would come to define the 1960s,
including the burgeoning Cold War and the growing Civil Rights
movement.
In "John F. Kennedy: The Spirit of Cold War Liberalism," Jason
K. Duncan explains Kennedy s significance as a political figure of
the 20th century in U.S. and world history. Duncan contextualizes
Kennedy s political career through his personal life and addresses
the legacy the president left behind. In a concise narrative
supplemented by primary documents, including presidential speeches
and critical reviews from the left and right, Duncan builds a
biography that elucidates the impact of this iconic president and
the history of the 1960s.
