Hardcover 160 pages with color photos -- Copyright 1986 John F. Kennedy's brief tenure as president was marked by a spirit of national confidence and optimism beyond what political events alone could justify. Kennedy's 'thousand days' in office brought innovative forms of service, including the Peace and Jobs Corps, and enhanced US prestige in international relations, especially as a result of the Cuban missile confrontation with the Soviet Union. Both the White House and the image of the presidency were refurbished and glamorized during the Kennedy years. Yet much of what Kennedy accomplished and stood for remains controversial today.
