A PULITZER PRIZE-WINNING HISTORIAN TAKES US AS CLOSE AS WE HAVE EVER BEEN TO THE REAL JOHN F. KENNEDY IN THIS REVELATORY BIOGRAPHY OF THE ICONIC, YET STILL ELUSIVE, THIRTY-FIFTH PRESIDENT. y the time of his assassination in 1963, John F. Kennedy stood at the helm of the greatest power B the world had ever seen, a booming American nation that he had steered through some of the most perilous diplomatic standoffs of the Cold War. Born i 1917 to a striving Irish American family that became among Bostons wealthiest, Kennedy knew political ambi tion from an early age, and his meteoric rise to become the youngest-ever elected president cemented his status as one of the most mythologized figures in American his tory. And while hagiographie portrayals of his dazzling charisma, reports of his extramarital affairs, and disagree ments over his political legacy have come and gone in the decades since his untimely death, these accounts all fail to capture the full person. Beckoned by this gap in our historical knowledge, Fredrik Logevall has spent much of the last decade search ing for the “real” JFK. The result is a sweeping two-volume biography that properly contextualizes Kennedy amidst the roiling American Century. This volume spans the first thirty-nine years of JFK’s life—from birth through his decision to run for president—to reveal his early relation ships, his formative experiences during World War II, his ideas, his writings, his political aspirations. In examining these pre—White House years, Logevall shows us a more serious, independently minded Kennedy than we’ve pre
viously known, whose distinct international sensibility would prepare him to enter national politics at a critical moment in modern U.S. history. Along the way, Logevall tells the parallel story of Ameri ca’s midcentury rise. As Kennedy comes of age, we see the charged debate between isolationists and interventionists
in the years before Pearl Harbor; the tumult of the Second World War, through which the United States emerged as a global colossus; the outbreak and spread of the Cold War; the domestic politics of anti-Communism and the atten dant scourge of McCarthyism; the growth of televisions influence on politics; and more. JFK: Coming ofAge in the American Century, 1917—1956 is a sweeping history of the United States in the middle de cades of the twentieth century, as well as the clearest portrait we have of this enigmatic American icon.

A PULITZER PRIZE-WINNING HISTORIAN TAKES US AS CLOSE AS WE HAVE EVER BEEN TO THE REAL JOHN F. KENNEDY IN THIS REVELATORY BIOGRAPHY OF THE ICONIC, YET STILL ELUSIVE, THIRTY-FIFTH PRESIDENT. y the time of his assassination in 1963, John F. Kennedy stood at the helm of the greatest power B the world had ever seen, a booming American nation that he had steered through some of the most perilous diplomatic standoffs of the Cold War. Born i 1917 to a striving Irish American family that became among Bostons wealthiest, Kennedy knew political ambi tion from an early age, and his meteoric rise to become the youngest-ever elected president cemented his status as one of the most mythologized figures in American his tory. And while hagiographie portrayals of his dazzling charisma, reports of his extramarital affairs, and disagree ments over his political legacy have come and gone in the decades since his untimely death, these accounts all fail to capture the full person. Beckoned by this gap in our historical knowledge, Fredrik Logevall has spent much of the last decade search ing for the “real” JFK. The result is a sweeping two-volume biography that properly contextualizes Kennedy amidst the roiling American Century. This volume spans the first thirty-nine years of JFK’s life—from birth through his decision to run for president—to reveal his early relation ships, his formative experiences during World War II, his ideas, his writings, his political aspirations. In examining these pre—White House years, Logevall shows us a more serious, independently minded Kennedy than we’ve pre
viously known, whose distinct international sensibility would prepare him to enter national politics at a critical moment in modern U.S. history. Along the way, Logevall tells the parallel story of Ameri ca’s midcentury rise. As Kennedy comes of age, we see the charged debate between isolationists and interventionists
in the years before Pearl Harbor; the tumult of the Second World War, through which the United States emerged as a global colossus; the outbreak and spread of the Cold War; the domestic politics of anti-Communism and the atten dant scourge of McCarthyism; the growth of televisions influence on politics; and more. JFK: Coming ofAge in the American Century, 1917—1956 is a sweeping history of the United States in the middle de cades of the twentieth century, as well as the clearest portrait we have of this enigmatic American icon.
