Book Description
William Manchester's epic and definitive account of President John F. Kennedy's assassination--now restored to print in a new paperback edition. As the world still reeled from the tragic and historic events of November 22, 1963, William Manchester set out, at the request of the Kennedy family, to create a detailed, authoritative record of the days immediately preceding and following President John F. Kennedy's death. Through hundreds of interviews, abundant travel and firsthand observation, and with unique access to the proceedings of the Warren Commission, Manchester conducted an exhaustive historical investigation, accumulating forty-five volumes of documents, exhibits, and transcribed tapes. His ultimate objective -- to set down as a whole the national and personal tragedy that was JFK's assassination -- is brilliantly achieved in this galvanizing narrative, a book universally acclaimed as a landmark work of modern history.

Why England Slept
Author: John F. KennedyPublisher: Praeger
ISBN: 1440849900
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Originally published in 1940, Why England Slept was written by then-Harvard student and future American president John F. Kennedy. It was Kennedy's senior thesis that analyzed the tremendous miscalculations of the British leaders in facing Germany on the advent of World War II, and in doing so, also addressed the challenges that democracies face when confronted directly with fascist states. In Why England Slept, at the book's core, John F. Kennedy asks: Why was England so poorly prepared for the war? He provides a comprehensive analysis of the tremendous miscalculations of the British leadership when it came to dealing with Germany and leads readers into considering other questions: Was the poor state of the British army the reason Chamberlain capitulated at Munich, or were there other, less-obvious elements at work that allowed this to happen? Kennedy also looks at similarities to America's position of unpreparedness and makes astute observations about the implications involved. This re-publication of the classic book contains excerpts from the foreword to the 1940 original edition by Henry R. Luce, an American magazine magnate during that era; the foreword to the 1961 edition, also written by Luce; and a new foreword by Stephen C. Schlesinger, written in 2015.

Explore the Lives and Relationship of John and Jackie Two captivating manuscripts in one book: John F. Kennedy: A Captivating Guide to the Life of JFK Jackie Kennedy: A Captivating Guide to the Life of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Part 1: Explore the Fascinating Life of John F. Kennedy Gallup's List of Widely Admired People of the Twentieth Century places President John F. Kennedy in the third slot, behind Martin Luther King, Jr., and Mother Teresa. Needless to say, President Kennedy's name is one that will not soon be forgotten. Many people will simply recall him as the handsome president who reigned for a short while before his unfortunate death at the hands of an assassin in Dallas, Texas. They may recall he was the youngest president to have been sworn into the presidential office or he dealt with issues such as the Cuban Missile Crisis. The general American public and the world know much about the surface of JFK's life-they know of his affairs and his ill health-but they often do not recall anything about who he was as a person or how he interacted with his wife and family. This book aims to unveil all this information along with many more captivating facts about the life of John F. Kennedy. Some of the topics covered in the first part of this book include: Childhood and Education Personal Life Relationship with Jackie Kennedy Naval Service Congressional Career 1960 Presidential Race Foreign Policy Domestic Policy Assassination Legacy And a Great Deal More that You don't Want to Miss out on! Part 2: Explore the Fascinating Life of Jackie Kennedy Without a doubt, the name Jackie Kennedy draws multiple thoughts to mind; she is, perhaps, most well-known in her service as the first lady of the United States, as her husband, John F. Kennedy, took office as the president, and her role in restoring the White House. Then, of course, other people remember Jacqueline for her role in the fashion industry, particularly her pink Chanel suit and matching pillbox hat, which became a symbol of her husband's assassination. Jackie is so renowned and beloved that she ranks as one of the most popular first ladies. In fact, Jacqueline was named in 1999 on Gallup's list of Most Admired Men and Women in twentieth-century America. While she made major impacts on the White House, Jackie was much more than her title as first lady. Some of the topics covered in the second part of this book include: Childhood and Early Education College and Early Career The Relationship with John F. Kennedy Motherhood Campaign for Presidency First Lady The Kennedy Assassination Life Following the Assassination Ongoing Iconic Figure And a Great Deal More that You don't Want to Miss out on!
