Kennedy

Longford, Lord

Book Club edition, by Purnell Book Services. Hardback, 223 pages, 14 b&w illustrations. A very good copy, top closed page edges a bit dusty, dj had light shelf wear to edges, otherwise very good. Unlike many biographies of JFK, this one does not seek to glorify or glamorise the man. Lord Longford has drawn on the memories of friends who knew Kennedy well and endeavours to understand the political value of Kennedy's personal charisma. He analyses the defects in Kennedy's character whilst recognising the potential for great statesmanship that was to be tragically cut short. Altogether a perceptive look at the background, family and life of one of the 20th century's most charismatic personalities.
