This is not a biography of JFK but rather a study of his leadership style and the issues that he handled including Vietnam, the Soviet Union, Latin America, racism in the US and the fight against poverty. Also of interest is his struggle to make the State Department an effective part of the government. Obviously the book is overshadowed by the tragic ending but it is inspiring reading for those who doubt that politicians can make a difference in the world."; 8.40 X 5.70 X 2.20 inches; 1087 pages .

About Dr. Bookman - All Books Tightly Packaged in Cardboard
We have an eclectic array of used and out of print books for you in our inventory. Service is key to our relationship with you. You get \"Old School\" service with Dr. Bookman. We can\'t look at each other in the eye, shake each others hand, or walk into the shop the next day if we\'re disatisfied. I understand that vulnerability. You are purchasing a product sight unseen. That means I must be honest with you about exactly what you are buying. You might find my descriptions more detailed than most others, but when purchasing online, I want you to know exactly what you\'re buying. I don\'t want you to feel surprised when you open the box. And by the way, almost all of our books are shipped in cardboard packaging designed just for books. That means you get it the way it left here.
