Wisconsin for Kennedy

The Primary That Launched a President and Changed the Course of History

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

"Wisconsin for Kennedy recounts how a team of Wisconsinites forged an alliance with the Kennedy family to win the make-or-break Wisconsin primary and propel JFK to the White House. By focusing on the Wisconsinites behind Kennedy's history-making success, Hollars reminds readers there was a time when politics really was personal--when people spoke nearly as loud as pocketbooks, and when the color of one's collar didn't determine one's value within a campaign. Wisconsin for Kennedy highlights the courage and commitment of Wisconsinites who came together in common cause--people from all walks of life who risked their reputations in the service of a more perfect union, a 'new frontier,' and a country willing to strive for peace and prosperity for all"
