In A Thousand Days, his account of Kennedy's tragically short tenure in office, Schlesinger covers everything from the campaign to Bay of Pigs. One reviewer wrote "The Kennedy administration seems destined to be distinguished, among its several notable characteristics, for the quality of the memoirs it has inspired" (Frank Freide).John Fitzgerald Kennedy (1917-1963), or JFK, was the 35th president of the United States. He served from 1961 until his assassination in 1963. A Catholic and the youngest man to be elected president, his brief tenure in the office was focused on civil rights and managing Cold War tensions. A Democrat, Kennedy served in the US Navy and in both the House of Representative and Senate.
