Lawrence Freedman's Kennedy's Wars is an elegant work, incisively written, penetrating and dispassionate in analysis--the best account we have of President Kennedy's foreign policy. --Arthur Schlesinger, Jr.
In this superbly researched and elegantly written book, Lawrence Freedman sheds new light on the Kennedy and Johnson administrations' handling of foreign affairs. Freedman's analysis of the brinkmanship of the Cold War and Vietnam is original. While I do not agree with every interpretation,
Kennedy's Wars challenges common knowledge about what happened and why and points to lessons we can apply to the future. --Robert S. McNamara, Secretary of Defense, 1961-1968
Combining remarkable insight into issues of nuclear strategy and a detachment from American controversies and emotions about Camelot, Kennedy's Wars powerfully illustrates both the intricacy and the horror of the Kenned administration's endless debates over issues such as 'program packages' and the
SIOP. It not only evaluates what exactly was at stake; it does so with some of JFK's own coolness. --Ernest May, Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University
An admirably rich and careful study. --The Economist
