Inlcudes bibliographical references and index.
This volume spans the first thirty-nine years of JFK's life -- from birth through to his decision to run for president -- to reveal his early relationships, his formative and heroic experiences during World War II, his ideas, his bestselling writings, his political aspirations and the role of this father, wartime ambassador to Britain. In examining these pre-White House years, Logevall shows us a more serious, independently minded Kennedy than we've previously known.
