Whoever he is and whatever his policies, the effects of his personality and his views reach out to every corner of the globe. Some Presidents of the United States have ranked with the great men of history. Others have been judged mediocre. It is too early to say whether history will include John Fitzgerald Kennedy's name among the truly great Presidents. What is beyond doubt is that his Presidency was one of the most eventful and significant in American history. The readings in this book help to illustrate and explain why this is so.
