During his presidency, John F. Kennedy recorded over 260 hours of meetings and telephone conversations. The taping system remained a closely held secret, even from his top aides. Now, Listening In gives readers a behind-the-curtain glimpse of one of America's most beloved and revered presidencies. It is the first publication of such scope to offer an inside view of the Kennedy Oval Office by the decision makers themselves.
The Kennedy Library Foundation, along with historian Ted Widmer, selected the most engaging excerpts from President Kennedy’s White House recordings, which include Kennedy’s meetings with Civil Rights leaders; calls with Eisenhower and Truman after the Cuban Missile Crisis; and discussions on the nuclear test ban, Vietnam, the Space Race, and more. Each transcript is accompanied by annotations and an explanation of the historical context in which the recorded meeting took place. The publication also includes photographs and two 75-minute CDs of the most interesting recordings.
Much as the publication of the #1 New York Times bestselling Jacqueline Kennedy: Historic Conversations on Life with John F. Kennedy gave readers unprecedented access to the thoughts of Jacqueline Kennedy, Listening In will give readers unparalleled access to the decision-making process and thoughts of John F. Kennedy. These recordings offer readers a chance to step into the Oval Office and Cabinet Room as if they themselves were present.
