Kennedy History Books | Set of 2 Hardcovers | Kennedy by Ted Sorenson | Death of a President by William Manchester | Bixley Shop

A set of two comprehensive views of President John F. Kennedy -- his life and his death.

KENNEDY, an intimate portrait of the late President, was written in 1965 by Theodore (Ted) Sorenson, Special Counsel to the President. As the dust jacket describes it... "In January, 1953, freshman Senator John F. Kennedy of Massachusetts hired a 24 year old Unitarian from Nebraska as his #2 legislative assistance - on a trial basis. Despite the differences in their backgrounds, Sorenson in the 11 years that followed became known as Kennedy"s "intellectual blood bank," "top policy aide," and "alter ego." (783 pages)

THE DEATH OF A PRESIDENT was written by William Manchester in 1967. As the dust jacket explains... "Following the assassination of President Kennedy, Mrs. Kennedy realized that she and others would be obliged to share their recollections of the national tragedy with a responsible writer - and so she and Senator Robert Kennedy asked Mr. Manchester to set down a history of the assassination and the days immediately preceding and following it."
