 | Kennedy's Wars by Lawrence Freedman
This history of President John F. Kennedy's foreign policy reveals his thinking about Cold War politics at the beginning and throughout his term in office, and is based on the best available records--including transcripts and recordings. Much of the book refers to crises in Germany and Cuba, as well as historic decisions about Southeast Asia. Freedman assesses Kennedy as a leader and as an adversary of Khrushchev, and through this study of his decision-making process seeks to find the true character of the man. AUTHOR: Lawrence Freedman
