A Thousand Days is ultimately the most detailed and literate memoir of John Fitzgerald Kennedy and his latter political life where Arthur Schlesinger Jr. depicts and interprets the bureaucratic journey of John Fitzgerald Kennedy from when he received the democratic nomination, throughout the presidency, and finally to the abominable autumn day of November 22nd, 1963 when he was atrociously assassinated.
Arthur Schlesinger Jr. writes about the three years of the Kennedy administration with such detail that the reader can visualize every moment and make their own interpretation of the events that established John Fitzgerald Kennedy's nomination and election of presidency, ultimately to the events that ratify his legacy as the thirty fifth president of the United States of America. The memoir is limited to Schlesinger's own bias of fact from which he had personally experienced, leaving an attempt to read the book with an optimistic political ideology at a minimum.
Arthur Schlesinger Jr. presents a great memoir where ANYONE can read about the Kennedy Presidency and learn something new everytime.
