Description: From the shaping influence of a formidable Boston family to the bright glare of the television age, this concise biography traces the making of America's 35th president. Following Kennedy through wartime service in the Pacific, his rise through Congress and the Senate, and the defining crises of his brief presidency—Berlin, Cuba, and the shadow of nuclear war—it offers a clear-eyed look at both the man and the moment. The final chapters examine the events in Dallas and the long afterlife of a presidency that continues to fascinate historians and the public alike, weighing enduring myth against the archival record.
