Fredrik Logevall, Stephen and Madeline Anbinder Professor of History, Cornell University "Marc J. Selverstone has brought together a remarkable group of scholars who illuminate the many important ideas of, and events that occurred during, this brief administration. This book is the best record of the Kennedy years."

Kennedy is an invaluable resource: a deeply informed conversation for the ages.'
