Fredrik Logevall's New Book About JFK, 1917-1956 (REVIEW ESSAY)
78
Swedish-born Harvard historian Fredrik Logevall has published a new biography about the life and times of President John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) titled JFK: Coming of Age in the American Century, 1917-1956 (Random House, 2020). Logevall's book is not without merit. After the onslaught of President Donald ("Tweety") Trump for more than four years now, the years 1917-1956 seem almost pre-historic. but refreshing to read about.
