John F Kennedy
JFK saw America through the Cuban Missile Crisis, established the Peace Corps, and was assassinated during his first term.
A fascinating photo-essay. Kennedy's life and administration were documented with a groundbreaking intimacy the public had never known before, making this an accessible, insightful perspective on one of America's most famous presidents. "Kirkus Reviews"
A subject particularly well suited to the photo-essay format. As in his other Through the Lens titles, Sandler offers an engaging, insightful introduction to his subject through both visuals and text. "Booklist"
Photographs throughout the title are, of course, deftly selected and gloriously reproduced in both color and black and white. This will be a valuable supplement to students researching the president himself, and required reading for kids interested in media. "BCCB""
