Summary
Love history? Know your stuff with History in an Hour.
John Fitzgerald Kennedy, America’s youngest President. But, barely one thousand days into his Presidency, he was assassinated. JFK in an Hour provides a compelling and comprehensive overview of this man credited with introducing an aspirational new approach to American politics.
Learn about the Kennedy family, the cast that propelled JFK to success despite family tragedy. Discover Kennedy’s talented diplomatic skills when navigating the Space Race, the nuclear missile crisis and his sympathies with the fledging civil rights movement. Learn about the man himself, the charming son, brother and husband, who maintained a charismatic public image, despite suffering from chronic illness all his life. JFK in an Hour provides key insight into why Kennedy epitomised the hopes of a new decade, and remains such an influential figure to this day.

Great!
Created for the impatient like me, who want the information but don't want to put in the time to go into extreme and mostly unnecessary detail.
Read well)

The new Camelot in a nutshell
You can learn a great deal about an individual in an hour. This is a great addition to the 'History in an Hour' series all of which I've enjoyed so far.
