James N. Giglio is Distinguished Professor of History at Missouri State University and author of H. M. Daugherty and the Politics of Expediency, Debating the Kennedy Presidency and John F. Kennedy: A Bibliography, as well as Musial: From Stash to Stan the Man.
"Giglio's revised edition makes an excellent book even better. His
brisk account brings JFK alive with all his strengths and
weaknesses during a pivotal era in modern U.S. history. . . . Must
reading for those who need to know why he still matters so
much."--Steven F. Lawson, author of Civil Rights Crossroads
From the reviews of the first edition: "This book is more than
merely interesting; its narrations of the major crises of the
Kennedy presidency--the Bay of Pigs, civil rights, the Cuban
missile emergency--are riveting."--American Historical Review"A
balanced and thoughtful account that avoids the hagiography or
damnation of so many other JFK bios, revealing the man in all his
complexity."--Kirkus
