A Profile in Leadership
This book at last presents the defining aspect of John F Kennedy's presidency: commander in chief of the US armed forces. It traces the development of JFK's hands-on relationship with the armed forces, closer than any other postwar President's, against the backdrop of the Bay of Pigs, through Laos, Vietnam, and the Berlin Wall, to the Cuban Missile Crisis and the space programme.
