Kennedy by Hugh Brogan
Neither hagiography nor demolition job, this book examines this key presidency with the scholarly detachment distance now allows. Lyndon B. Johnson inherited achievements and problems alike, and Brogan compares the work of both presidents, concluding that Kennedy's record was, broadly, impressive, and would have been more so had he lived.
'This is a rare bookFinely considered and finely composed, it may be the best short study of its overburdened subject ever written. Kennedy is something more than Kennedy. It is a miniature model of the historian's craft' Times Higher Education Supplement 'Crisp, fair-minded, well-informed, elegant and witty, Hugh Brogan's Kennedy is the best modern account of the Kennedy presidency.' Arthur Schlesinger "This lucid, stimulating and perceptive analysis offers to a student audience probably the best brief overview that has appeared to date on Kennedy the president." African Studies
