SUMMARY:“Kennedy’s Only Hero”
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an evening with Joel Nelson\, author of the new boo
 k Kennedy’s Only Hero: How JFK’s Obsession with Winston Churchill Defin
 ed His Presidency.\\n\\nWinston Churchill remains one of the modern age’s
  most revered leaders. His life has been the subject of decades of mythmaki
 ng and scrutiny\, and yet few know the powerful sway he had over another tw
 entieth-century political icon—John F. Kennedy. Drawing on deep wells of 
 unpublished archival material\, Kennedy’s Only Hero uncovers Kennedy’s 
 obsession with Churchill\, whose career\, policies\, writings\, and even da
 ily habits profoundly shaped the future president.\\n\\nKennedy discovered 
 Churchill’s books as a teenager and by his early twenties had become an u
 nswerving believer in his brilliance. Under Churchill’s influence\, Kenne
 dy rejected his own youthful isolationism and adopted the approach to natio
 nal and international politics that propelled him to the presidency. Althou
 gh they would not meet until late in their lives\, Churchill’s influence 
 on Kennedy’s campaign tactics\, speeches\, and worldview was overwhelming
 . Kennedy’s conviction in the power of peace through strength\, his faith
  in summits\, his understanding of the importance of rhetoric\, and his dee
 p commitment to service and global engagement—all came from Churchill.\\n
 \\nKennedy’s Only Hero is an enlightening and deeply human story of an ad
 miration and aspiration that changed the course of history.\\n\\nBook signi
 ng to follow. This program will be live streamed and recorded for later vie
 wing. Links will be posted closer to the event date.\\n\\nJoel Nelson is a 
 British writer and historian. He has worked as an advisor to the Secretary 
 of State for International Development\, an editor at Foreign Affairs\, and
  a Director of European Policy at an AI think-tank in Washington\, D.C. He 
 has a first-class honours degree in History from the University of Oxford\,
  an MPhil from the University of Cambridge\, and he was a Kennedy Scholar a
 t Harvard. Kennedy’s Only Hero is his first book.
