This book commemorates the 40th anniversary of John F. Kennedy's assassination on November 22, 1963. It features a meticulous collection of over 250 photographs, both color and black and white, many previously unpublished, alongside campaign memorabilia and personal notes that reveal the behind-the-scenes story of the youngest man elected president. Spanning 304 pages, the volume captures the glamour and success of Kennedy's life, from childhood and student days to congress, fatherhood, and the presidency, while also highlighting the tragedy of his untimely death. Included are a biography, famous quotes, handwritten documents, and correspondence, celebrating his legacy. Born on May 29, 1917, in Brookline, Massachusetts, Kennedy was the second of nine children in an Irish Catholic family with a history of political involvement. After graduating from Harvard in 1940, he served in the Navy, becoming a war hero. He entered politics as a Democratic Congressman and advanced to the Senate in 1953. He married Jacqueline Bouvier in 1953 and authored "Profiles in Courage," which won the Pulitzer Prize in History. In 1961, he became the first Roman Catholic and youngest president of the United States. This book extensively illustrates him as both a family man and world leader, offering a poignant tribute to one of the twentieth century's most revered political figures.
