JFK: Coming of Age in the American Century, 1917-1956

byFredrik Logevall

JFK examines coming of Age in the American Century, 1917-1956, combining Fredrik Logevall's clear narrative with the perspective of a biographical portrait. The book builds its explanation through key episodes, competing interests, and the setting supplied by the connected fields of biography & autobiography and history. Attention to evidence keeps the discussion anchored while allowing disagreement, uncertainty, and unintended consequences to remain visible. What emerges is a nuanced account of the subject, its immediate consequences, and its wider meaning. Historical context and individual experience remain equally important to the book's explanation.
