Sterling Biographies: John F. Kennedy: Voice of Hope (Sterling Biographies)

By Marie Hodge

Book Overview

Although John Fitzgerald Kennedy's presidency lasted less than three years before an assassin's bullet killed him in Dallas, Texas, he had a lasting impact upon the world. Youthful, charming, and articulate, he--and his sophisticated wife Jackie--symbolized hope and optimism in a time of turmoil. Young readers will find themselves enthralled by this biography of one of America's most popular leaders, which explores J.F.K.'s privileged childhood and tight-knit family; wartime heroism; and political accomplishments, which began in Congress and eventually led him to the U.S. presidency--the youngest man ever elected to the Oval Office.
