Zusammenfassung: | In this gripping memoir, John F. Kennedy's closest advisor recounts in full for the first time his experience counseling Kennedy through the most dramatic moments in American history.... from the decision to go to the moon to the Cuban Missile Crisis, when JFK requested that the thirty-four-year-old Sorensen draft the key letter to Khrushchev at the most critical point of the world's first nuclear confrontation. After Kennedy was assassinated, Sorensen stayed with President Johnson for a few months before leaving to write a biography of JFK. In 1968 he returned to Washington to help run Robert Kennedy's presidential campaign. Through it all, Sorensen never lost sight of the ideals that brought him to Washington and to the White House, working tirelessly to promote and defend free, peaceful societies.--From publisher's description. |

adam_text | In this gripping memoir, John F. Kennedy s closest
advisor recounts in full for the first time his exper¬
ience counseling Kennedy through the most
dramatic moments in American history.
Sorensen returns to January
1953,
when he and
the freshman senator from Massachusetts began their
extraordinary professional and personal relationship.
Rising from legislative assistant to speechwriter and
advisor, the young lawyer from Nebraska worked closely
with JFK on his most important speeches, as well as
his book Profiles in Courage. Sorensen encouraged the
junior senator s political ambitions
—
from a failed bid
for the vice presidential nomination in
1956
to the
successful presidential campaign in
1960,
after which
he was named Special Counsel to the President.
Sorensen describes in thrilling detail his exper¬
ience advising JFK during some of the most crucial days
of his presidency, from the decision to go to the moon
to the Cuban Missile Crisis, when JFK requested that
the thirty-four-year-old Sorensen draft the key letter to
Khrushchev at the most critical point of the world s first
nuclear confrontation. After Kennedy was assassinated,
Sorensen stayed with President Johnson for a few months
before leaving to write a biography of JFK. In
1968
he
returned to Washington to help run Robert Kennedy s
presidential campaign. Through it all, Sorensen never
lost sight of the ideals that brought him to Washington
and to the White House, working tirelessly to promote
and defend free, peaceful societies.
Illuminating, revelatory, and utterly compelling.
Counselor is the brilliant, long-awaited memoir from
the remarkable man who shaped the presidency and
the legacy of one of the greatest leaders America has
ever known.
