Wow!
That is all I can say after reading Jack's Path of Courage. The illustrations are so astounding and so life-like that I thought they were photographs. We all have images and ideas of the Kennedy family, especially the President, but this book gives a lot of childhood information about our 35th president. For example, I did not know that President Kennedy suffered severe back pain all his life. He seemed like he had a lot of vitality, but he was secretly suffering. Perhaps the most familiar part of the story, his assassination, was only briefly covered in this book. I was pleased that the author explored more of his early years instead of only focusing on the trauma of November 22, 1963. This is an incredible source of history, and I would encourage everyone who reads this blog to read this book. It is thoroughly researched and includes a selected bibliography at the end. I was surprised at how much I liked it, and I think you will too.
