Berlin, Cuba, Laos, and Vietnam
In Kennedy's Wars, noted historian Lawrence Freedman draws on the best of Cold War scholarship and newly released government documents to shed new light on John F. Kennedy's approach to war and his efforts for peace. Tracing the evolution of traditional liberalism into the Cold War liberalism of Kennedy's cabinet, Freedman evaluates the president and his top advisers' responses to the tensions in Berlin, Cuba, Laos and Vietnam. He gives each conflict and each key figure individual attention. Offering a dynamic portrait of a man whose unenviable job it was to divert the western world from a nuclear catastrophe, readers will be enlightened by this superbly researched and elegantly written book.Translation missing: en.general.search.loading
