Summary

Explore the fascinating life of John F. Kennedy

Gallup's List of Widely Admired People of the 20th Century places President John F. Kennedy in the third slot, behind Martin Luther King, Jr., and Mother Teresa. Needless to say, President Kennedy's name is one that will not soon be forgotten.

Many people will simply recall him as the handsome president who reigned for a short while before his unfortunate death at the hands of an assassin in Dallas, Texas. They may recall he was the youngest president to have been sworn into the presidential office or he dealt with issues such as the Cuban Missile Crisis.

The general American public and the world know much about the surface of JFK's life - they know of his affairs and his ill health - but they often do not recall anything about who he was as a person or how he interacted with his wife and family. This audiobook aims to unveil all this information along with many more captivating facts about the life of John F. Kennedy.

Some of the topics covered in this audiobook include:

  • Childhood and Education
  • Personal Life
  • Relationship with Jackie Kennedy
  • Naval Service
  • Congressional Career
  • 1960 Presidential Race
  • Foreign Policy
  • Domestic Policy
  • Assassination
  • Legacy
  • And a great deal more that you don't want to miss out on!

Great book, about a great leader.

Any additional comments?

This book has stimulated me to do extra. The author’s writing is the top. He expresses it as it is and, from his own words. This book has assisted me a lot to think contrarily before joining the Marine Corps.

An interesting overview.

What did you like most about John F. Kennedy: A Captivating Guide to the Life of JFK?

A brief history.

What other book might you compare John F. Kennedy: A Captivating Guide to the Life of JFK to, and why?

its the first one.

What does Duke Holm bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

Fabulous.

Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

No

Any additional comments?

The book is quite interesting and a solid contribution to American history. JFK not only accepted the Pulitzer Prize for it, he said nothing about who really wrote it. Certainly, he allegedly did give the prize money to charity. But his own actions hardly qualify as a profile.
