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

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
