Paperback. Zustand: Good. June 1963. John Fitzgerald Kennedy has been president of the United States for almost two and a half years. That spring he is at a tipping point, grappling with the two seismic forces of his time: nuclear arms and civil rights.

In this tick-tock of the presidency, we see him everywhere from facing down George Wallace over the integration of the University of Alabama to talking obsessively about sex and politics at a dinner party in Georgetown.
