Nothing can be added to Robert Cato's fair and glowing review on the slipcover: masterfully written as an understandable historical account by a participant who understood the subtleties and historical significance.
John Kennedy was a child of privilege who lent his considerable gifts to the betterment of ordinary Americans. His life was cut short by assassination, but his charisma was such his successor, Lyndon Johnson was able to seriously advance the rights of black people in the USA. This box is partisan, but well researched.
This seems to be a piece of political hagiography, albeit a well written one. If you are looking for a portrait with only a few blemishes, this is a pretty good book. As i read the book in 1967, it must have been a library copy.

The stories of their barnstorming in a small plane together in the 1950's campaigning surprised me.
Very readable.
