The decade began with a sense of idealism, personified by the attractive Kennedy, his beautiful and fashionable wife Jackie, and his young children. Months into his presidency, Kennedy exhorted the country to reach for the stars, calling upon the nation to send a man to the Moon and back by the end of the decade. In 1961, Kennedy made it seem like anything was possible, and Americans were eager to believe him. The Kennedy years were fondly and famously labeled Camelot, by Jackie herself, suggesting an almost mythical quality about the young President and his family.</p><p>As it turned out, the 60s closely reflected the glossy, idealistic portrayal of John F. Kennedy, as well as the uglier truths. The country would achieve Kennedys goal of a manned moon mission, and the landmark Civil Rights Act of 1964 finally guaranteed minorities their civil rights and restored equality, ensuring that the country would live out the true meaning of its creed. But the idealism and optimism of the decade was quickly shattered, starting with Kennedys assassination in 1963. The 60s were permanently marred by the Vietnam War, and by the time Robert F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King, Jr. were assassinated in 1968, the country was irreversibly jaded. The events of the decade produced protests and countercultures unlike anything the country had seen before, as young people came of age more quickly than ever.</p><p><em>The Life and Death of John F. Kennedy: The Remarkable Life and Shocking Assassination of Americas Youngest President</em> chronicles the presidents life, and the assassination that rocked the country. Along with pictures and a bibliography, you will learn about Kennedys life and death like never before.</p>...7122510The Life and Death of John F.
