A Thousand Days:

John F. Kennedy in the White House
Front Cover
25 Reviews
Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2002 - Biography & Autobiography - 1087 pages
As special assistant to the president, Arthur Schlesinger witnessed firsthand the politics and personalities that influenced the now legendary Kennedy administration. Schlesinger’s close relationship with JFK, as a politician and as a friend, has resulted in 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).

User Review  - Marjie - Goodreads

Schlesinger's memoir is obviously biased, but with that in mind, this was a fascinating insight into the politics and decision making during those crisis filled years. Read full review
