Nearly sixty years after his death, JFK still holds an outsize place in American culture. While Baby Boomers remember his dazzling presence as president, millennials more likely know him from advertisements for Omega watches or Ray Ban sunglasses. Yet his years in office were marked by more than his style and elegance. His presidency is a story of a fledgling leader forced to meet unprecedented challenges, and to rise above missteps to guide his nation into a new era.
Kennedy entered office inexperienced but compelling, his reputation more given by an enamored public than earned. In this compelling new account of his time in the White House, presidential historian Mark K. Updegrove reveals how his first months were marred by the botched Bay of Pigs invasions, a disastrous summit with the Soviet premier and a mismanaged approach to the Civil Rights movement. Though demoralized, Kennedy offered an important lesson in perseverance, righting wrongs and, importantly for our times, learning the correct lessons. Indeed, Kennedy grew as president, radiating greater possibility as he coolly faced a never-ending stream of crises before his tragic death.
Story Locale: The White House, Washington, DC

NEW LOOK AT A TIMELESS LEADER: Kennedy's ascension to the presidency represented the turning of the page for America in 1961, something many Americans feel today about Biden in 2021.
EXPERT AUTHOR: As a longtime Lyndon Johnson scholar, Updegrove is an authority on 1960s presidential politics, but as a historian he has cast a wider net, having interviewed luminaries like presidents Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, and both Bushes; Joe Biden, who was VP at the time; Supreme Court justices Sandra Day O'Connor and Ruth Bader Ginsburg; as well as Henry Kissinger and Madeleine Albright
MEDIA: Updegrove is the former publisher of Newsweek and is currently the official presidential historian for ABC News, appearing regularly on Good Morning America and This Week. He is also a contributor to CBS Sunday Morning, and has made appearances on CNN, Fox News, MSNBC, and NBC News.
