Manchester was his friend, so he gives him to us close up, life size, warts and all. In an epilogue in this revised edition, the author discusses the man, his time, and his place in history. "It is fascinating, appealing and, like all great drama, enchanting." (New Republic) ****REVIEW*****I really enjoyed this book because it showed John F. Kennedy as a person, not just a President. Plus, it was written before his assassination so the book was not clogged with the author's theories or guesses about why it happened. ****REVIEW****First published in the fall of 1962 this 1967 revised edition adds an introduction and epilogue which includes "a brief account of what life was like for the President's survivors." William Manchester met with JFK, family and friends and his first edition of "Portrait of a President" was a JFK favorite book about himself.
