Book Reviews of A Thousand Days: John F. Kennedy in the White House
Book Review: A true historical classic.
Summary: 5 Stars
I had taken an interest in Arthur Schlesinger when he passed away. I picked up a copy of his book, "A Thousand Days: John F. Kennedy in the White House" from a used book shop in NYC. I had known that this was an award winning book. After Mr. Obama's election, I decided to read this book to find common threads between the Presidency of JFK and Mr. Obama. I was suprised by the similarities of these two men and their message. I strongly urge that Mr. Schelsinger's work be read by the historian and the non-historian. Although it is a big book, it had a good flow.
Summary of A Thousand Days: John F. Kennedy in the White House
As special assistant to the president, Arthur Schlesinger witnessed firsthand the politics and personalities that influenced the now legendary Kennedy administration. Schlesinger?s close relationship with JFK, as a politician and as a friend, has resulted in this authoritative yet intimate account in which the president “walks through the pages, from first to last, alert, alive, amused and amusing? (John Kenneth Galbraith). A THOUSAND DAYS is “at once a masterly literary achievement and a work of major historical significance? (New York Times).
