Elected in 1960 as the 35th President of the USA, John Fitzgerald
Kennedy remains to this day the office's youngest incumbent and he was
its first Roman Catholic. His term in office was short, but arguably no
US President has inspired more people around the globe than JFK. Even
today, for generations born decades after his death, President Kennedy's
legacy has an enduring appeal. This insightful book contains specially
commissioned pieces by a range of respected academic and political
figures, including former Obama speechwriter, Cody Kennan, the President
of the Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights organisation, Kerry Kennedy, and
former senior adviser to Bernie Sanders, Tad Devine.
With the presidency of Joe Biden seeing a renewed focus on broader
themes within Irish, American, and global politics, From Whence I Came
is a fascinating and timely collection that offers a fresh perspective
on the Kennedy legacy and the politics of Ireland and the United States.
