A lively, concise and cutting-edge biography of one of the towering
figures of 20th-century history. Of all the US presidents of the
post-Second World War period, John F. Kennedy is the most clearly
idolized. There is a well-documented gulf between the public's
largely positive appraisal of this glamorous historical figure and
professional historians' skeptical and mixed evaluation of a
president who had only a foreshortened single term in which to make
his mark. What made JFK the man he was? How does he fit into the
politics of his time? What were his policy goals, how did they
shift, and how far did he manage to advance them? What was the
Kennedy style of governance? Why was he killed and how can we
explain the unprecedented outpouring of grief that his death
elicited? How has his memory evolved since 1963? Acclaimed
biographer Peter J. Ling explores all these important questions,
sifting and synthesizing the prodigious mass of Kennedy scholarship
to provide readers with a fresh and strongly contextualized
portrait of the man and his presidency. John F. Kennedy will be
essential reading for students of modern American history and
anyone else seeking to understand the political and private life of
America's best known president.
