First published in 1962, Portrait of a President is William Manchester’s firsthand account of the life of President Kennedy. Drawn from his personal friendship with the President and the Kennedy family, and from more than 40 interviews conducted during JFKs first year in office, Manchester provides a glimpse into the chaotic, yet magical, world and times of the Kennedy administration. Manchester himself provided updates to the book after the assassination of the President, and Portrait of a President remains a classic must-read for anyone interested in John F. Kennedy, the man.
One Brief Shining Moment, first released in 1983, is Manchester’s celebration of Kennedy and the extraordinary period of American history. Manchester admired Kennedy and was proud to call him a friend. Twenty years after JFK’s death, Manchester takes us from the wedding of Kennedy and Jacqueline Bouvier, through the presidency with a look back on those years as only time can provide. Manchester uses his own reality to show that the myth of Camelot was not just a label for the times.
“One Brief Shining Moment does indeed make the Kennedy days look glamorous again.” –Kirkus Reviews (starred)
RosettaBooks also publishes Manchester’s books Controversy, The Glory and the Dream, and H.L. Menken in eBook.
