Kennedy on November 22, 1963 propelled the memory of the slain president to a revered status. Naturally enough, the public came to terms with the tragedy in Dallas by investing the chief executive's life with Lincolnesque significance--a moral importance transcending politics.\u003cbr\u003e Traditionally, historians have accentuated either the positive \"Camelot\" or the negative \"counter-Camelot\" view of JFK. Measured appreciation became adulation and criticism evolved into vilification. Bringing together leading Kennedy scholars with a group of younger historians, Mark J. White demonstrates that both versions of JFK are unsatisfying caricatures, lacking subtlety and nuance. Using recently declassified documents, \u003cb\u003eKennedy\u003c\/b\u003e examines many of the key issues surrounding the president's time in the White House: Vietnam, the Cuban missile crisis, the Berlin issue, the space race, relations with de Gaulle, and trade policy. Rejecting the idolatry and bitterness evident in so many previous works on JFK, the volume presents a compelling reappraisal of the Kennedy presidency.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"New York University Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47781106221207,"sku":"9780814793404","price":11449.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780814793404.webp?v=1778050615","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/kennedy-the-new-frontier-revisited-9780814793404","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
