Critics Review
Fredrik Logevall’s deeply intimate, suspenseful account of John Kennedy’s pursuit of the presidency is a stunning achievement. It was America’s first modern, televised race for the White House, and astonishingly, it was waged without rancor and salted with intellect, wit and humor. Imagine that! Logevall marshals a wealth of new sources to bring you inside the drama of a victory not at all preordained. His JFK is a disciplined political operator—driven and ambitious, and yet it is an uplifting story—a formidable addition to the historical canon. – Kai Bird, Pulitzer Prize-winning historian and co-author of American Prometheus: The Triumph and Tragedy of J. Robert Oppenheimer
