    About this ebook

    Until his inspiring life was tragically cut short, John F. Kennedy commanded the world's attention—today, his legacy is still very much alive. This rich visual biography tells an unusual personal story by collecting rare memorabilia, everything from doodles and diary entries to drafts of major addresses. Hundreds of photographs and a compelling narrative by presidential scholar Chuck Wills uncover the remarkable tale of an intensely private man, from his rivalry with his older brother and his persistent courtship of Jackie to the inner workings of a historical presidency. Dozens of removable facsimiles and a 60-minute audio CD featuring some of Kennedy's most famous speeches, including hisinaugural address and his speech at the Berlin wall, capture an intimate look at one of the most revered figures in American history.

      A great illustrated book on JFK's life. This publication has an interesting method of including a variety of memorabilia from JFK's life. Many of these items are letters he wrote or received and paraphernalia from his electoral running days. I never knew Jack's handwriting was so poor! Also included is a CD comprising of many of JFK's famous speeches.This book covers all the basic elements of Jack's life in moderate detail so if you're looking for a highly detailed and expansive book about his life this would not be the best option. For casual readers looking for a good overview of JFK's life than this book is perfect. The pictures are great and the writing is smartly done. Overall this book surpassed my expectations.
