Intimate Camelot history from inside the Oval

If you love political history that feels alive rather than distant, this is a gripping place to land.

Description

As special assistant to the president, Arthur Schlesinger witnessed firsthand the politics and personalities that shaped the Kennedy administration. Schlesinger’s close relationship with JFK, both as a politician and as a friend, informs this authoritative yet intimate account, in which the president “walks through the pages, from first to last, alert, alive, amused and amusing” (John Kenneth Galbraith). A Thousand Days is “at once a masterly literary achievement and a work of major historical significance” (New York Times).
