New York: Viking, 2010. First Printing [Stated]. Hardcover. Format is approximately 5 inches by 7 inches. [4], 60 pages. Black and white photograph of Kennedy on front cover. Illustrations. Introduction by Caroline Kennedy. This was America, 1960 by Elizabeth Partridge. The bookplate of this book contains a facsimile signature of John F. Kennedy. This book was produced as part of the commemoration of the fiftieth anniversary of President Kennedy's election. The book also contains excerpts of Report to the American People on Civil Rights by John F. Kennedy; and Commencement Address at American University (excerpts) by John F. Kennedy. Also includes the poem, The Gift Outright, by Robert Frost. His inaugural address encompassed the major themes of his campaign and would define his presidency during a time of economic prosperity, emerging social changes, and diplomatic challenges. This inauguration was the first in which a poet, Robert Frost, participated in the program. Robert Frost, then 86 years old, recited his poem "The Gift Outright". Kennedy requested Frost to read a poem at the inauguration, suggesting "The Gift Outright", considered an act of gratitude towards Frost for his help during the campaign. Kennedy would later state that he admired the "courage, the towering skill and daring" of Frost, and adding that "I've never taken the view the world of politics and the world of poetry are so far apart. I think politicians and poets share at least one thing, and that is their greatness depends upon the courage with which they face the challenges of life." More

DJ is in a plastic sleeve, and has wear, tears, chips and soiling. Pencil notation on fep. Some page discoloration. Kennedy was elected to the House of Representatives in 1946, 1948, and 1950 for the state of Massachusetts. In 1952 and 1958, he was elected a senator from Massachusetts, and served in the Senate until resigning after he was elected president in 1960. It was a passage from Herbert Agar's book The Price of Union about an act of courage by an earlier senator from Massachusetts, John Quincy Adams, that gave Kennedy the idea of writing about senatorial courage. He showed the passage to Ted Sorensen and asked him to see if he could find some more examples. This Sorensen did, and eventually they had enough not just for an article, as Kennedy had originally envisaged, but a book.[6] With help from research assistants and the Library of Congress, Kennedy wrote the book while bedridden during 1954 and 1955, recovering from back surgery.
