Let Every Nation Know: John F. Kennedy in His Own Words - Couverture souple

This Media Fusion book dramatically evokes the 25 or so major events of John F. Kennedy's presidency so that we can relive them. It brings together the memorable words of John F. Kennedy along with audio recordings of his most famous speeches, debates, and press conferences. During his term of less than three years, Kennedy gave 64 press conferences, 50 of which are preserved in the Library of Congress. These recordings constitute an aural history of the early 1960's, and along with interviews with both John and Jacqueline Kennedy, create a portrait of this brief but exceptional presidency. The companion text by two prominent journalists serves to explain and enrich the historical context of each selection.
