Remembering Jack
	Lowe Jacques 2003	Jacques Lowe's photographs of the Kennedys, taken during his tenure as JFK's personal photographer, have become the iconic imagery of a time that remains vividly etched in the national psyche. Upon Lowe's death, commentators credited his picture with creating the myth of Camelot. Of Lowe's forty thousand Kennedy's photographs, only a few hundred have ever been seen, and all of his negatives, which were housed in a vault in the World Trade Center, were destroyed on Sept.11,2001. For this definitive book, fine reproductions have been created from existing prints and contact sheets - in some cases of images he never even printed. This book features more than 600 pictures, half of which are previously unpublished.

	Kauffman James L. 1994	"Kauffman's compelling book....examines how the Kennedy Administration and the media constructed the space program in ways designed to win congressional and public approval. Kauffman analyzes the construction of the space program as a series of rethorical moves, raising questions not only about the media, government, and technology but also about how we understand public life" Journal of American History

The Best Year of Their Lives: Kennedy, Johnson and Nixon in 1948
	Morrow Lance 2005	In 1948, John Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson and Richard Nixon were ambitious young congressmen in postwar Washington, all of them at a crucial turning point in their personal lives and public careers. Their future presidencies would dominate American public life from 1961 to 1974 and define one of the country's most turbulent eras. In this tightly-framed portrait, journalist Lance Morrow explores the passions, ambitions and demons that drove these men, and reflexts on the shadow they cast on American culture and memory.
The Burden and The Glory
	Kennedy John Fitzgerald (edited by Allan Nevins) 1964	The Hopes and Purposes of President Kennedy's second and third years in office as revealed in his public statements and addresses
The Bystander [John F.Kennedy and the struggle for Black Equality]
	Bryant Nick 2006	In this book, the first comprehensive history of Kennedy's civil rights record over the course of his entire political career, Nick Bryant shows that Kennedy's shrewd handling of the race issue in his early congressional campaigns blinded him as president to the intractability of the simmering racial crisis in America. By focusing on mainly symbolic gestures, Kennedy missed crucial opportunities to confront the obstructionist Southern bloc and to enact genuine reform.
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. His father, Joe, set the pattern with an arrogance and cunning that have never been fully appreciated: Kennedys could do exactly what they wanted, and could evade any charge brought against them. 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 developing medium allowed voters to know more about the candidates - the incumbent Republican Vice President Richard Nixon and Democratic senator John F.Kennedy - than in any previous election. This book discusses the famous presidential debates, each party's advertising campaigns and the other elements that made 1960 a key election year in American political history.
The First Modern Campaign [Kennedy, Nixon and the Election of 1960]
	Gary A. Donaldson 2007	The presidential campaign that pitted Richard M. Nixon against John F. Kennedy was the most significant political campaign since World War II. With Eisenhower's tenure at an end, American society broke with the culture of the war years. This social shift was reflected in and provoked by new trends in American political life and political campaigning, all of which made 1960 a landmark year in American politics. In this engaging book, Gary A. Donaldson tells the story of Kennedy versus Nixon with a sharp eye for the salient political developments and a keen sense of the drama of an election that was unlike any other the nation had experienced. The election of 1960 was also an orchestrated political drama, organized as a sweeping campaign from coast to coast and staged for a national television audience. This made it the first modern campaign in which the television media changed the dynamics of presidential politics and in which photographs, charisma, and direct appeals to voters counted as they had never done before. It was also an election of intense personal rivalry made all the more spirited by the prejudice against Kennedy's Catholicism and his intention to widen the American political arena.
The Fourteenth Day [JFK and the Aftermath of the Cuban Missile Crisis]
	David G.Coleman 2012	A fly-on-the-wall narrative of the Oval Office in the wake of the Cuban Missile Crisis, using JFK’s secret White House tapes. On October 28, 1962, Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev agreed to remove nuclear missiles from Cuba. Popular history has marked that day as the end of the Cuban Missile Crisis, a seminal moment in American history. As President Kennedy’s secretly recorded White House tapes now reveal, the reality was not so simple. Nuclear missiles were still in Cuba, as were nuclear bombers, short-range missiles, and thousands of Soviet troops. From October 29, Kennedy had to walk a very fine line―push hard enough to get as much nuclear weaponry out of Cuba as possible, yet avoid forcing the volatile Khrushchev into a combative stance. On the domestic front, an election loomed and the press was bristling at White House “news management.” Using new material from the tapes, historian David G. Coleman puts readers in the Oval Office during one of the most highly charged, and in the end most highly regarded, moments in American history. 20 photographs
The Greatest Speeches of President JF Kennedy
	edited by Dudley Brian R. 1995	Included are these renowned speeches : - "We stand today on the edge of a New Frontier" - "Ask not what your country can do for you..." - "We seek peace-but we shall not surrender" - "We choose to go to the moon" - "An already clear and present dander" - "Let us...step back from the shadow of war" - "We face a moral crisis as a country and as a people"
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 Irish Brotherhood [John F.Kennedy, His Inner Circle and the Improbable Rise to the Precidency]
	Helen O'Donnel with Kenneth O'Donnel Sr 2015	The Irish Brotherhood is the history of Jack Kennedy's original political inner circle. Led by Bobby Kennedy, Kenny O'Donnell, Larry O'Brien, and Dave Powers they were tough minded, Irish–Catholic guys who were joined together by a common ambition to see Jack Kennedy through to the White House. War veterans who were young, ambitious, and they wanted their country back. Jack Kennedy was their man, their leader. No matter that he was Irish, Catholic, and his "Old Man" had made as many enemies as friends—Jack had ambition, brains, a special charisma. To win the White House would be a victory not only for Jack Kennedy, but for the downtrodden. They collectively decided that if the political powers would not let them in willingly then they would kick the door down. At the center of the story is Kenny O'Donnell, Jack Kennedy's tough talking, no–bullshit, top political aide. Jack recognized he needed Kenny's blue collar, political genius and Kenny recognized something special in Jack. The Irish Brotherhood describes what it was like to be inside the Kennedy inner circle. With Bobby, who was determined to make his own mark apart from his famous family, his life–long struggle, never won, never lost. With Joe, as Kenny and Larry prove to him that their outsider approach was going to work after Jack's crushing victory in '58, which sets the stage for the Presidential campaign to come. This book is a missing piece of the story of the improbable rise to power of John F. Kennedy and further fills out the picture of the man revealing that Jack Kennedy was at heart a politician. He enjoyed the rough and tumble and despite his personal issues, or perhaps because of them, he became determined to succeed beyond anybody's expectations. It is intriguing an indelible portrait of the son, brother, friend, Congressman, Senator and President.
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 Mystique - Creating Camelot
	Goodman Jon 2006	This book combines arresting photography and perceptive analysis to tell the whole story of the love affair between the Kennedys and the camera, a far more complex and sophisticated relationship than we might suppose. Camelot insiders and media experts like Jackie's social secretary Letitia Baldrige, White House correspondent Hugh Sidey, historian Robert Dallek and Life magazine photo editor Barbara Baker Burrows provide rare perspective on 150 remarkable images- as historical records, as publicity, and as symbols.
The Kennedy Obsession [The American Myth of JFK]
	John Hellmann 1997	John F. Kennedy was not only a president, but also a symbol for America's most cherished ideas. In The Kennedy Obsession, John Hellmann takes a thoroughly original approach to understanding Kennedy's star power and his carefully crafted public image. Tracing Kennedy's self-creation as diligent scholar, bashful hero, and sensitive rebel-cued by cultural figures such as Lord Byron, Ernest Hemingway, and Cary Grant-and the images of Kennedy in the aftermath of his assassination, Hellmann reveals the painstaking transformation of private life into public persona, of a man into perhaps the major American myth of our time.
The Kennedy Reader
	edited by David Jay 1967	Here is a collection of some of the best and best known writing in existence by and about John Fitzgerald Kennedy.
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. For two weeks an executive committee, formed around elements of President Kennedy's National Security Council, debated what to do, twice coming to the brink of attacking Soviet military units in Cuba. Through it all, audio tape was rolling. These are the full, authenticated, transcripts of those recordings.
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 two leaders exchanged letters from 1960 until John Kennedy's assassination in 1963; these letters were kept Top Secret until almost the year 2000. This volume contains 120 letters between John Kennedy and Nikita Khrushchev and they should be an invaluable aid toward understanding the years of the Kennedy administration and the Khrushchev regime.
The Kennedys and Cuba
	White Mark J. 1999	The Declassified Documentary History. In this intriguing assemblage of documents, drawn from the State Department, the Kennedy Libray, private papers, and the Assassination Records Review Board, and including newly released materials, Mark White traces the attitude and actions of the Kennedys in their fateful dealings with Castro and Cuba.
The Letters of John F. Kennedy
	edited by Martin W. Sandler 2013	John Fitzgerald Kennedy led his nation for little more than a thousand days, yet his presidency is intensely remembered, not merely as a byproduct of his tragic fate. Kennedy steered the nation away from the brink of nuclear war, initiated the first nuclear test ban treaty, created the Peace Corps, and launched America on its mission to the moon and beyond. JFK inspired a nation, particularly the massive generation of baby boomers, injecting hope and revitalizing faith in the American project. Martin Sandler's The Letters of John F. Kennedy stands out as the only book that draws on letters from and to Kennedy, as collected at the Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum. Drawn from more than two million letters on file at the library--many never before published--this project presents readers with a portrait of both Kennedy the politician and Kennedy the man, as well as the times he lived in. Letters to and from the likes of Martin Luther King Jr, Clare Booth Luce, Pearl Buck, John Wayne, Albert Schweitzer, Linus Pauling, Willy Brandt, Eleanor Roosevelt, Nikita Khruschev, Harry Truman, Herbert Hoover, a young John Kerry, and Ngo Dinh Diem are complemented by letters from ordinary citizens, schoolchildren, and concerned Americans. Each letter will be accompanied by lively and informative contextualization. Facsimiles of many letters will appear, along with photographs and other visual ephemera from the Kennedy Library and Museum.
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.
The Memories - JFK 1961-1963
	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. Captain Stoughton had extraordinary opportunities to photograph, to remember JFK as President, as father, as husband, as a great human being in moments of crisis and tension, of joy and relaxation.
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. In 1961 Red Fay was appointed Under Secretary of the Navy and served until 1965. In this book, Fay delivers just what the title promises : the marvelous fun of being with JFK in his least formal, most unguarded moments.
The Presidential Portfolio - JFK
	Kenney Charles 2000	This book features more than 250 photos and documents from the JFK Presidential Library and Museum that capture the essence, style, and excitement of the Kennedy presidency. It includes an extraordinary 60-minute audio CD of JFK on the phone and at work.
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.
The Real Making of the President (Kennedy, Nixon and the 1960 Election)
	W.J. Rorabaugh 2009	War hero, champion of labor, and Pulitzer Prize-winning author, JFK was long on charisma. Despite a less than liberal record, he assumed the image of liberal hero—thanks to White and other journalists who were shamelessly manipulated by the Kennedy campaign. Rorabaugh instead paints JFK as the ideological twin of Nixon and his equal as a bare-knuckled politician, showing that Kennedy's hard-won, razor-thin victory was attributable less to charisma than to an enormous amount of money, an effective campaign organization, and television image-making. The 1960 election, Rorabaugh argues, reflects the transition from the dominance of old-style boss and convention politics to the growing significance of primaries, race, and especially TV—without which Kennedy would have been neither nominated nor elected. He recounts how JFK cultivated delegates to the 1960 Democratic convention; quietly wooed the still-important party bosses; and used a large personal organization, polls, and TV advertising to win primaries. JFK's master stroke, however, was choosing as a running mate Lyndon Johnson, whose campaigning in the South carried enough southern states to win the election. On the other side, Rorabaugh draws on Nixon's often-ignored files to take a close look at his dysfunctional campaign, which reflected the oddities of a dark and brooding candidate trapped into defending the Eisenhower administration. Yet the widely detested Nixon won almost as many votes as the charismatic Kennedy, even though Democrats outnumbered Republicans by three to two. This leads Rorabaugh to reexamine the darker side of the election: the Republicans' charges of vote fraud in Illinois and Texas, the use of money to prod or intimidate, manipulation of the media, and the bulldozing of opponents.
The remarkable Kennedys
	McCarthy Joe 1960	This book was written in 1960, before the election of JFK to President, by Joe McCarthy, a former war correspondent and a top reporter and writer of non-fiction. It is the story of John Kennedy - his early life in a close-knit, ambitious family, his initiation into a political career he never wanted, and his rapid- some say too rapid- rise to national fame.
The Road to Camelot (Inside JFK's Five-Year Campaign)
	Thomas Oliphant & Curtis Wilkie 2017	A behind-the-scenes, revelatory account of John F. Kennedy’s wily campaign to the White House, beginning with his bold, failed attempt to win the vice presidential nomination in 1956. A young and undistinguished junior plots his way to the presidency and changes the way we nominate and elect presidents. John F. Kennedy and his young warriors invented modern presidential politics. They turned over accepted wisdom that his Catholicism was a barrier to winning an election and plotted a successful course to that constituency. They hired Louis Harris—a polling entrepreneur—to become the first presidential pollster. They twisted arms and they charmed. They lined up party bosses, young enthusiasts, and fellow Catholics and turned the traditional party inside out. The last-minute invitation to Lyndon B. Johnson for vice president in 1956 surprised them only because they had failed to notice that he wanted it. They invented The Missile Gap in the Cold War and out-glamoured Richard Nixon in the TV debates. Now acclaimed, award-winning journalists Tom Oliphant and Curtis Wilkie provide the most comprehensive account, based on a depth of personal reporting, interviews, and archives. The authors have examined more than 1,600 oral histories at the John F. Kennedy library; they’ve interviewed surviving sources, including JFK’s sister Jean Smith, and they draw on their own interviews with insiders including Ted Sorensen and Arthur Schlesinger, Jr. From the start of the campaign in 1955 when his father tried to persuade President Johnson to run with JFK as his running mate, The Road to Camelot reveals him as a tough, shrewd political strategist who kept his eye on the prize. This is one of the great campaign stories of all time, appropriate for today’s political climate.

The strange medical saga of John F. Kennedy
	Forest Tennant 2023	When John F. Kennedy was inaugurated President on January 20, 1961, two physicians who had previously saved his life and career were in attendance in case of an emergency. Over his entire life of forty-three years, he was continually plagued with a wide array of health issues. During infancy he almost died of scarlet fever. He survived an infamous PT 109 incident during World War II. After the war he collapsed due to adrenal failure known as Addison’s Disease. At one point when he was a senator, he said he would rather die than continue tolerating his incredible back pain. To top off these incidents he had two major back surgeries, malaria, a host of infections, and what is today called celiac disease. He had been given last rites on two occasions. Just before and during his tenure in the White House of about 1000 days, his doctors began a series of innovative therapies that gave him the best health ever in the year of his assassination. About fifty years would pass before medical science was able to determine that he had a rare genetic disease called “autoimmune polyglandular syndrome” which wiped out his adrenals, thyroid, and testicles requiring hormone replacement. He developed a rare complication called “adhesive arachnoiditis” which is regarded by some as the world’s worst back pain. His strange medical saga will likely remain as “one-of-a-kind.”

	Koning Christina 2003	Brought up in a large and wealth family which is now considered "the closest thing America has to an aristocracy", President John F. Kennedy's life and career were in every way golden. Equally golden was his tongue, for aside from the great speeches that helped to define him as a world leader, he possessed a ready wit honed both at home and in politics. Using sayings and quips reported by those who knew him, as well as quotations of his own, this book presents hundreds of example of JFK's legendary wit.
Thirteen Days
	Robert F.Kennedy 1968	During the thirteen days in October 1962 when the United States confronted the Soviet Union over its installation of missiles in Cuba, few people shared the behind-the-scenes story as it is told here by the late Senator Robert F.Kennedy. In this unique account, he describes each of the participants during the sometimes hour-to-hour negotiations, with particular attention to the actions and views of his brother, President John F.Kennedy.
