2011 is the 50th anniversary of JFK's inauguration. A narrative of Kennedy's quest to create a speech that would
distill American dreams and empower a new generation, Ask
Not is a beautifully detailed account of the inauguration
and the weeks preceding it. During a time when America was
divided, and its citizens torn by fears of war, John F.
Kennedy took office and sought to do more than just reassure
the American people. His speech marked the start of a brief,
optimistic era. Thurston Clarke's portrait of JFK is
balanced, revealing the president at his most dazzlingly
charismatic and cunningly pragmatic.
