Conversations with JFK

Imagined by one of the world's foremost JFK scholars, this fictionalised conversation presents the essential biography of America's most glamorous and mythologised president. The presidency of John F. Kennedy was a magic interlude in American history. His admirers saw him as a leader of intelligence and imagination, who wielded power with grace, courage and verve although detractors have questioned the quality of his convictions and drawn attention to his serial philandering. Kennedy s rise also marked the beginning of modern ''celebrity'' politics a politician with film star charisma who proved ideally suited to the new age of television. Meet the man himself and he ll tell you how it felt to have his finger on the red button when the world teetered on the brink of nuclear war. Written by a leading scholar, and featuring a Foreword by legendary novelist Gore Vidal who exclusively shares his experiences of the JFK White House, this is a sparkling and innovative biography of America s most glamorous president.
