synopsis
He was the youngest president, certainly one of the most loved and admired. His residency in the White House was surrounded by the aura of Camelot, and his life seemed charmed and the stuff of legend. But there were detractors and vocal critics throughout his abbreviated term. In American Presidents: John Fitzgerald Kennedy, Kennedy's presidency is scrutinized, with an emphasis on his handling of the troublesome international aspects of his administration, including the Bay of Pigs, the Cuban missile crisis, the Berlin crisis, and the situation in Southeast Asia.
