Twenty-four years before becoming president of the United States, John F. Kennedy undertook a grand tour of Europe. Together with his friend and traveling companion, Lem Billings, they left a record of their stay in the old continent, which was then falling into a terrifying wave of totalitarian regimes. Until now hidden in the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library in Boston, these student diaries from 1937 form a faithful image of Kennedy's point of view during a trip that was key to formulating his later ideas on democracy and thus leading the Cold War . And although it exposes some erroneous conclusions and judgments about the political panorama of the time, it also raises highly topical reflections on populism, propaganda and their powerful effects on society. With numerous archive photographs, an introduction by the director of the RAE, Santiago Mu oz Machado, and an epilogue by Professor Oliver Lubrich, here the unadulterated writings of JFK's diary are reproduced in their entirety in his encounter with a Europe tormented by Nazism.

"In this timeless book, President Kennedy shows how the United States has always been enriched by the steady flow of men, women, and families to our shores. It is a reminder that America's best leaders have embraced, not feared, the diversity which makes America great." --Former Secretary of State Madeleine K. Albright Throughout his presidency, John F. Kennedy was passionate about the issue of immigration reform. He believed that America is a nation of people who value both tradition and the exploration of new frontiers, deserving the freedom to build better lives for themselves in their adopted homeland.

Originally published in 1940, Why England Slept was written by then-Harvard student and future American president John F. Kennedy. It was Kennedy's senior thesis that analyzed the tremendous miscalculations of the British leaders in facing Germany on the advent of World War II, and in doing so, also addressed the challenges that democracies face when confronted directly with fascist states. In Why England Slept, at the book's core, John F. Kennedy asks: Why was England so poorly prepared for the war? He provides a comprehensive analysis of the tremendous miscalculations of the British leadership when it came to dealing with Germany and leads readers into considering other questions: Was the poor state of the British army the reason Chamberlain capitulated at Munich, or were there other, less-obvious elements at work that allowed this to happen? Kennedy also looks at similarities to America's position of unpreparedness and makes astute observations about the implications involved. This re-publication of the classic book contains excerpts from the foreword to the 1940 original edition by Henry R. Luce, an American magazine magnate during that era; the foreword to the 1961 edition, also written by Luce; and a new foreword by Stephen C. Schlesinger, written in 2015.

Este es un libro acerca de la virtud mas admirable de todas las virtudes humanas: el valor. Ernest Hemingway la definio como "gracia bajo presion." Y estos son los relatos sobre las presiones que experimentaron ocho Senadores de Estados Unidos y la gracia con la cual las enfrentaron. --John F. Kennedy Durante los anos 1954 y 1955, el entonces Senador de Estados Unidos, John F. Kennedy, escogio a ocho de sus colegas historicos para presentar sus perfiles, destacados por sus actos de impresionante integridad ante una oposicion abrumadora. Entre estos heroes se encuentran John Quincy Adams, Daniel Webster, Thomas Hart Benton y Robert A. Taft. Este libro recibio el Premio Pulitzer en 1957, y ha vuelto al mercado en esta nueva edicion en espanol, que incluye una introduccion escrita por Caroline Kennedy, ademas del prologo para la edicion conmemorativa escrito por Robert Kennedy, lanzada en 1964, resuena con lecciones perdurables para todos los tiempos sobre la mas apreciada de las virtudes, y es una poderosa remembranza de la fortaleza del espiritu humano. Como afirma Robert Kennedy en el prologo, este es no solo un conjunto de historias del pasado, sino tambien una conexion de esperanza y confianza para el futuro. Lo que suceda en la nacion, y en el mundo, depende de lo que nosotros hagamos con lo que otros nos han dejado.

THE PULITZER PRIZE-WINNING CLASSIC OF POLITICAL INTEGRITYWith a foreword by Robert F. Kennedy and introduction by Caroline KennedyJohn F. Kennedy's enduring classic resounds with timeless lessons on the most cherished of virtues--courage and patriotism--and remains a moving, powerful, and relevant testament to the indomitable American spirit During 1954-55, Kennedy, then a junior senator from the state of Massachusetts, profiled eight American patriots, mainly United States Senators, who at crucial moments in our nation's history, revealed a special sort of greatness: men who disregarded dreadful consequences to their public and private lives to do that one thing which seemed right in itself. They were men of various political and regional allegiances--their one overriding loyalty was to the United States. Courage such as these men shared, Kennedy makes clear, is central to all morality--a man does what he must in spite of personal consequences--and these exciting stories suggest that, without in the least disparaging the courage with which men die, we should not overlook the true greatness adorning those acts of courage with which men must live. As Robert F. Kennedy writes in the foreword, Profiles in Courage "is not just stories of the past but a book of hope and confidence for the future. What happens to the country, to the world, depends on what we do with what others have left us." This Harper Perennial Deluxe Edition, featuring French flaps and deckle-edge paper, includes a special "P. S." edition with vintage photographs, an extensive author biography, Kennedy's correspondence about the writing project, contemporary reviews of the book, a letter from Ernest Hemingway, and two rousing speeches from recipients of the Profile in Courage Award.

New Mexico's Troubled Years: The Story Of The Early Territorial Governors by Calvin Horn is a historical book that explores the early years of New Mexico's territorial government. The book focuses on the first seven governors of the territory, from 1851 to 1869, and how they navigated the challenges of governing a diverse and often contentious population. Horn delves into the political and social climate of the time, including the conflicts between the Anglo-American settlers and the Hispanic population, as well as the ongoing struggle with Native American tribes. He also examines the impact of the Civil War on New Mexico and how it affected the territory's relationship with the federal government. Through extensive research and analysis, Horn provides a comprehensive look at the successes and failures of each governor and how their actions shaped the future of New Mexico. He also explores the personal lives of the governors, including their relationships with their families and their struggles with illness and personal demons. Overall, New Mexico's Troubled Years offers a fascinating look at a pivotal time in the history of the Southwest and the challenges faced by those who sought to govern it. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of New Mexico or the American West.
