Scott Badler

JFK & the Muckers of Choate (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This newest piece of literature on John F. Kennedy skillfully reconstructs the years he spent at Choate, an elite and stifling boarding school for boys. A prankster by nature, Kennedy rebels when the headmaster brands him and his partners in crime "muckers" who are sullying Choate''s reputation. Young Kennedy is the best kind of troublemaker and underdog: funny, whip-smart, and keenly sensitive to injustice in all its forms. Badler has pulled a captivating story of real people and true events from Kennedy''s previously unexplored boarding school days.
