Ask not what your country can do for you... How did the man who spoke
those words grow from a young boy to become President?
In an easy-to-follow mix of biography, facts, and history supported with
lifelike illustrations, Adler traces Kennedy's life as a boy, World War
II hero, best-selling author, politician, family man, and thirty-fifth
President of the United States. The book ends with Kennedy's
assassination and its aftermath.
A time line of important dates in Kennedy's life helps young readers
place the President in history.
