"And while no nation has ever faced such a challenge, no nation has ever been so ready to seize the burden and the glory of freedom": First Edition of John F. Kennedy's The Burden and the Glory
First edition of this collection of speeches of President Kennedy. Octavo, original cloth. Fine in a near fine dust jacket. Jacket design by Riki Levinson. Edited by Allan Nevins. Foreword by President Lyndon B. Johnson.
Allan Nevins has grouped the addresses, excerpts from news conferences and interviews into areas of concern, beginning with President Kennedy's concepts of government, peace and the international scene, through the flux of international problems to domestic matters such as civil rights, business and agriculture, and education and science, with a brief background sketched when necessary. The President's continuing search for methods of promoting world peace is particularly stressed in these selections. It includes his second and third State of the Union addresses, his famous “Ich bin ein Berliner” speech, remarks on the Cuban Missile Crisis, comments on race relations and a speech for his trip to Dallas, never delivered.
