Kennedy in the White House","description":"xiv, 1087, [1] pp. 8vo. \"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).\" ABOUT THE AUTHOR: \"Arthur Meier Schlesinger Jr., born Arthur Bancroft Schlesinger (October 15, 1917 – February 28, 2007), was a Pulitzer Prize recipient and American historian and social critic whose work explored the liberalism of American political leaders including Franklin D.
