Pros

Schlesinger exhausts the english vocabulary on positive adjectives until the characterization reaches a mystical, almost sublime level. He establishes that while john f. Kennedy is a first-rate historian, this book is not a compromise to his reputatio...  Read More

The sections on dallas are brief, as befitting an author who was in washington that day. One of the most thorough firsthand accounts of the kennedy administration. The absolute starting point for anyone even vaguely interested in the kennedy presidenc...  Read More

I was suprised by the similarities of these two men and their message. If this book is read with that in mind it is possible to deepen your understanding of who kennedy was. We see less about how his family played a role in his life and more about his...  Read More

Schelsinger's work be read by the historian and the non-historian. It brings back a lot of memories of that time, both good and bad (assasination) initially, we see things chronologically but eventually it goes into a topic-wise system like a textbook...  Read More



Cons

Schlesinger has not done his job as an historian, who should be fair, impartial and truthful. Mostly, it is uninteresting because it is largely about mr. Jfk. This is one of the books that shattered schlesinger's credibility as a legitimate historian....  Read More

    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Many of the customer reviewers criticized schlesinger for his bias in thousand days


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    It is true that nothing that kennedy does in thousand days is wrong and nothing that eisenhower did was right


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    In the 1030 pages of thousand days the reader is hardpressed to find a single critical comment about kennedy


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    There are certainly plenty of excuses as well as repetitive references to the seeds of legislative programs sown by kennedy that would inevitably as implied by schlesinger revolutionized the us


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    However schlesinger did not attempt to hide this bias he was obviously star struck by the kennedys and did not purport to give the republican perspective on the kennedy administration


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    A little more critical analysis of kennedy may have been more illuminating but this type of analysis may well have robbed thousand days of the passion that makes it so interesting and inspiring


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Perhaps the most effective way to portray the man therefore is with a biography that is interesting and inspiring


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The kindle edition i purchased has typos that seem to be the result of scanning the original print copy
