Product Description

Product Description

Love history? Know your stuff with History in an Hour.

John Fitzgerald Kennedy, America’s youngest President, was assassinated barely one thousand days into his Presidency. In the sixtieth anniversary of his death, this is the story of the man who brought an aspirational new approach to American politics.

Born into the glamorous cast of Kennedys, JFK was propelled to political success despite family tragedy, disappointment and pressure. He engaged in a Space Race, averted the Cuban missile crisis and showed solidarity with the fledging civil rights movement. Throughout all he maintained a charismatic public image as son, brother and husband, despite his concealed personal failings and the chronic illness that beset him. JFK: History in an Hour provides a compelling and comprehensive overview of the man who epitomised the hopes of a decade and remains an influential figure to this day.

Love all these "In a hour" series as I can't absorb much.
Gives a good basis to "build" on if the subject interest wants to take you further.

3.0 out of 5 stars history in 5 minutes? 23 Mar 2013
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
a simplistic glimpse of the life and death of jfk. enjoyable light reading, but not in the league of mark lane et al. to make a conspiracy theory convincing takes a little more clout than this.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pretty good stuff 26 Jan 2013
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
It does what it says on the tin. You get a potted history which I have found to be pretty good in all of the "History in a hour" books that i've read.
I hope there's more of these books in the pipeline. I really enjoy them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Compact yet interesting. 8 Jan 2013
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
I found this guide to JFK to be an extraordinary introduction and brief overview of his life. This book is excellent for those, like me, who are interested in this particular topic but have never explicitly looked into it. The whole series of 'History in a Hour' is excellent and the concept is ingenious.
