Icon, Libertine, Leader: The Life and Presidency of John F. Kennedy - Hardcover
by Mark White (Author)
This new biography of JFK offers a comprehensive analysis of the man, the leader, and the cultural icon. Mark White, the leading authority in Britain on JFK, draws on more than 30 years of research to provide a nuanced portrait of one of the most iconic figures in American and world history.
John F. Kennedy was a president like no other, with a movie star's public image and an extraordinary private life. He was no less remarkable politically, with his achievements including the resolution of the 1961 Berlin crisis and the Cuban missile crisis, the Nuclear Test Ban Treaty, and a strong commitment to civil rights.
Mark White is a Professor of History at Queen Mary University of London and director of the London POTUS Group, the leading seminar series in the UK on the American presidency. He has published eight books on the modern US presidency and was shortlisted for the Neustadt Prize for Against the President (2008).
