Love, Jack
	Von Post Gunilla 1997	John F.Kennedy was a young senator pursued by an Italian contessa and the impossing forces of his destiny. She was a twenty-one-year-old Swedish aristocrat away from home for the first time. Their accidental meeting at a port in the Riviera changed both their lives forever. Spanning two continents and the Atlantic Ocean, unfolding over a six-year period starting in 1953, "Love,Jack" is the story of a transcendent but heartbreaking love between two people at the peak of their youth and beauty, a love that seemed impossible but could not be denied. Here is an intimate portrait of John Kennedy never before seen: a gentle, kind and caring man, intensely passionate and full of life - but a man who faces great difficulty adjusting to the demanding role history and his father have assigned him.
Marilyn e JFK
	Forestier Francois 2009	Italian version. Although the book is about their "relationship", the author leads you through their life and upbringing to give you a real understanding of their persona.

Mr Kennedy and the Negroes
	Golden Harry 1964	This book is the story behind the Civil Rights Revolution.

My twelve years with John F.Kennedy
	Lincoln Evelyn 1965	Intimate insights into the life and character of JFK are presented in this book by the person who in many ways knew him best.

Once Upon a Secret [My affair with President John F.Kennedy and its aftermath]
	Alford Mimi 2012	In the summer of 1962, nineteen-year-old Mimi Beardsley arrived by train in Washington D.C. to begin an internship in the White House press office. The Kennedy Administration had reinvigorated the capital and the country - and Mimi was eager to contribute. For a young woman from a privileged but sheltered upbringing, the job was the chance of a lifetime. Although she started as a lowly intern, Mimi made an impression on Kennedy's inner circle and, after just three days at the White House, she was presented to the President Kennedy. Almost immediately the two began an affair that would continue for the next eighteen months. In 2003, a Kennedy biographer mentioned "a tall, slender, beautiful nineteen-year-old college sophomore and White House intern, who worked in the press office" in reference to one of the President's affairs. The disclosure set off a tabloid frenzy and soon exposed Mimi and the secret taht she had kept for forty-one years. Because her past had been revealed in such a shocking, public way, she was forced, for the first time, to examine the choices she'd made. She came to understand that shutting down one part of her life so completely had closed her off from so much more. No longer defined by silence or shame, mimi Alford has finally unburdened herself with this searingly honest account of her life and her extremely private moments with a very public man. "One Upon a Secret" offers a new and personal depiction of one of our most iconic leaders and a powerful, moving story of a woman coming to terms with her past and moving out of the shadows to reclaim the truth.

Primary
	Drew Robert DVD	The landmark film that took us on the road to the Kennedy White House. "A new kind of reporting, a new form of history" Robert Drew promised John F.Kennedy. He was proposing that a revolutionary, small camera operated by cameramen Ricky Leacock and sync sound recorder operated by himself, live with Kennedy day and night for nearly a week during the climax of his 1960 Wisconsin presidential primary run against Hubert Humphrey.

The Dark Side of Camelot
	Hersh Seymour 1997	In this groundbreaking book, award-winning investigative journalist Seymour Hersh shows us a John F.Kennedy we have never seen before, a man insulated from the normal consequences of behaviour long before he entered the White House.

Kennedys wrote their moral code.
The Election of 1960 and the Administration of JFK
	Schlesinger Arthur M. Jr. 2003	The event that played the greatest role in the 1960 presidential election was the growth of television during the preceding decade.

The Humor of JFK
	compiled by Booton Herndon 1964	The astonishing thing about the natural humor of John F.Kennedy was that it proved to be, again and again, a thing of delight to friend and adversary alike. It was impossible to resist the magnetism of his comic spirit, or not to be charmed by his polished cajolery. The most persuasive of his humorous pleasantries are collected in these pages.
The Kennedy Baby [The loss that transformed JFK]
	Levingston Steven 2013 E-book	A sensitive portrait of how a profound tragedy changed one of America’s most prominent families. Their marriage is the subject of countless books. His presidency has been pored over minute by minute by historians. They lived their lives in the public eye and under a microscope that magnified all of their flaws, all of their scandals, all of their tragedies. Now Steven Levingston, nonfiction editor at the Washington Post, presents a devastating story in unprecedented detail, about a child John and Jackie Kennedy loved and lost. On August 7, 1963, heavily pregnant Jackie Kennedy collapsed, marking the beginning of a harrowing day and a half. The doctors and family went into full emergency mode, including a helicopter ride to a hospital, a scramble by the President to join her from the White House, and a C-section to deliver a baby boy, Patrick Bouvier Kennedy, five and a half weeks early with a severe respiratory ailment. The baby was so frail he was immediately baptized. Over the next thirty nine hours the nation watched and waited. The vigil was spread across the front pages of the newspapers; the country watched the life of Patrick unfold on the evening news. Within the Kennedy family, the drama was transforming the president and his marriage. Both he and Jackie, long known for their cool exteriors, were brought together by a shared sadness and love as they never had been. Although baby Patrick succumbed after 39 hours, his father was born anew through the tragedy. THE KENNEDY BABY is a vivid drama of a national tragedy and private trauma for the Kennedy family, taking readers through the lead up to the birth, the ordeal in the hospital, and JFK’s personal growth through his hardship and the progress toward a changed marriage – a breakthrough all the more acute in light of the tragedy that loomed only months away.

The Kennedy Tapes
	May Ernest R. & Zelikow Philip D. 1997	Inside the White House during the Cuban Missile Crisis. Oct.62 : the United States and the Soviet Union stood face to face, each brandishing enough nuclear weapons to obliterate the other's civilizations.

The Kennedy-Khrushchev Letters
	Fensch Thomas (editor) 2001	In the early 1960s, Nikita Khrushchev initiated a correspondence with John Kennedy in an effort to bridge gaps between the two leaders and between U.S.S.R. and the U.S.A.

The Making of a Catholic President [Kennedy vs Nixon 1960]
	Casey Shaun A. 2009	The 1960 Presidential election, ultimately won by John F.Kennedy, was one of the closest and most contentious in American history. The country had never elected a Roman Catholic president, and the last time a Catholic had been nominated - New York Governor Al Smith in 1928 - he was routed in the general election. From the outset, Kennedy saw the religion issue as the single most important obstacle on his road to the White House. In this book, Shaun Casey tells the fascinating story of how the Kennedy campaign transformed the "religion question" from a liability into an asset, making him the first (and still only) Catholic president.
The Making of the President 1960
	White Theodore H.. 1961	More than a year before the election of John F.Kennedy, Theodore H.White began to explore the secret planning and private aspirations of seven men, each of whom, in his own way, found his dreams tormented by the power that might be his in the White House. By spring, Mr White had begun to follow the open candidates as they plodded through the snows and early jousting of the primaries. Continuing through the conventions, the campaigns and the final drama of election night, he fashioned a work of contemporary history that highlights the decisions, the acts, the accidents, that created an American President, and also the cold political realities of a country upon whose decision the world of freedom waited.

	Stoughton Cecil & Clifton Chester V. 1973	In 1961 President John Kennedy's friend and Military Aide, General Chester V.(Ted) Clifton assigned Captain Cecil Stoughton of the Army Signal Corps to the full-time job of keeping a photographic record of President Kennedy's days in the White House.

The Pleasure of his company
	Fay Paul B. Jr 1966	Paul B.Fay Jr and John Kennedy served together as PT Boat officers both in training and action. After the war the two men were associated as friends and campaigners.

The President's team (The 1963 Army-Navy game and the assassination of JFK)
	Connelly Michael 2009	The Naval Academy football team of 1963 was branded a "team of destiny" by its coach, Wayne Hardin. With Heisman Trophy winner Roger Staubach at quarterback and a talented group of athletes on both side of the ball, the Midshipmen indeed seemed destined for greatness that season. After winning 8 of their first 9 games, the Midshipmen were scheduled to head to Philadelphia in late November for the annual Army-Navy game, the highlight of any season for both service academies. Although as Commander in chief of all the armed services President Kennedy was expected to be impartial in the contests between the military academies, it was clear where the former PT109 Lieutenant placed his allegiances. Kennedy's firsthand relationship with Midshipmen footballers dated back to 1960, when as president-elect he met with Heisman winner Joe Bellino and the other stars of the fourth-ranked Midshipmen. Six weeks later, Bellino and 3,500 other members of the Naval Academy Brigade led the march in President Kennedy's inauguration parade. Over the next several years, the president remained a keen follower of the strong navy team. Then, the tragic events of November 22,1963 readjusted the priorities of every American citizen. The assassination of a beloved president left the nation shocked and saddened. The 44 men of the Navy football team, both as athletes and as men dedicated to serving their country, took the news particularly hard but decided to dedicate the rest of their season to the fallen president.
