About the Author
William Manchester (1922-2004) was an award-winning American author, biographer, historian, and a professor emeritus of history at Wesleyan University. Among his many New York Times bestselling books are A World Lit Only by Fire; The Glory and the Dream; American Caesar; Goodbye, Darkness; and The Last Lion, a multivolume biography of Winston Churchill. He was also a recipient of the National Humanities Medal and the Abraham Lincoln Literary Award.
From AudioFile
Addison's aristocratic tenor is a great match for this audiobook about John F. Kennedy, one of the best-known members of America's aristocracy. Manchester's book is not a dispassionate academic biography; rather, it is in the mold of a Greek paean--a hymn of praise about a famous figure. Manchester had a personal connection to JFK and tells intimate stories about him. This audiobook focuses on the highlights of Kennedy's life and his presidency and defends JFK against criticism. Addison's reading communicates the many emotions that Manchester displays in this text. M.L.C. (c) AudioFile, Portland, Maine
