Sommario/riassunto: John Fitzgerald Kennedy was President of the United States when the Cold War was at its height, with crises developing over West Berlin, Cuba and Vietnam. Yet most works have focused on the myth of Camelot, rather than Kennedy's role as a military president. This text aims to fill that gap.
