Conversations with Kennedy

Conversations with Kennedy

From one of Americaâ‚¬s most distinguished journalists, the story of his time with Jack Kennedy as both reporter and friend

Conversations with KennedyÂ is legendary reporter and executive Benjamin C. Bradleeâ‚¬s account of his intimate dialogues with JFKâ‚¬"a man he counted as a confidante and friend. Beginning in 1958, when Kennedy was a US senator running for president, and continuing until 1963, the year that Kennedy died, Bradlee shared a close professional and personal relationship with the charismatic politician. Both men were war veterans, idealists, and up-and-coming American leaders, and they shared values that drove their friendship.

Kennedy was a politician equally at home with the bruising intellects he appointed to government posts and his working-class constituents. He respected his complicated father, understood his brothers, admired women, and had few illusions about human nature. Bradleeâ‚¬s eye for detail reveals JFKâ‚¬s views on everything from Communism to conservatism to freedom of the press. From parties at the White House to weekends at Palm Beach to JFKâ‚¬s enduring influence on Bradleeâ‚¬s own life, this is an in-depth, behind-the-scenes look at the man behind a myth, written by a giant of American journalism.
