Customer Reviews

A lot of lovely pictures.

John f Kennedy as we remembered him is the best book about JFK. There are a lot of rare photos, and the texts are very interesting because we can see him as a human, and not only his politic.There is a legacy too.We can not only see him but his family too, and it's a very beautiful family.Unlike many Kennedy books, which focus particularly on Kennedy's Presidency and political career, As We Remember Him is much more balanced, and follows JFK from his childhood, through prep school, college and World War Two. The photos are lovely and very well-done, and the book also has two more advantages: the photos are accompanied by quotes from Kennedy friends, relatives, and associates from childhood forward so they really knew him and can tell us some anecdotes.I highly recommended to all Kennedy fans or not.

A Marvelous Book of Photographs about JFK...

Of all the American Presidents, John F. Kennedy was surely among the most glamorous and photogenic. During his brief but dramatic political career dozens of the nation's best photographers were paid to capture him, his beautiful young wife, his children, and his remarkable brothers and sisters on film. The result has been dozens of "coffee-table" photo books on the Kennedys. However, this older book, published in the sixties not long after JFK's assassination, is among the best that I have seen. Unlike many Kennedy books, which focus mainly on Kennedy's Presidency and/or political career, "As We Remember Him" is much more balanced, and follows JFK from his childhood, through prep school, college and World War Two. The photos are lovely and very well-done, and the book also has two more advantages: the photos are accompanied by quotes from Kennedy friends, relatives, and associates from childhood forward; and the book contains several reprinted newspaper articles concerning JFK, from his heroism in World War Two to obituaries of his beloved older brother and sister; and letters from Senator and President Kennedy to friends and the public. The result is a very balanced and interesting look at Kennedy the man - father, husband, politician, and President. Highly Recommended!
