520    The story of the friendships and forces that shaped the 
       Kennedy presidency. In the summer of 1938 a tall Harvard 
       student arrived in London, where his father was the 
       American ambassador and his sister had gained entrée to a 
       group of young aristocrats. As Winston Churchill called on
       a reluctant Britain to resist Hitler before it was too 
       late, Jack Kennedy formed bonds of friendship and family 
       that would forever change his life and the course of 
       American history. Drawing on many new primary sources, 
       this book is the first to trace the arc of Kennedy's 
       intellectual and political formation, and to detail the 
       goals of his presidency as he saw them, giving an intimate
       picture of a leader torn between politics and principle, a
       president wrestling with private demons and unresolved 
       conflicts dating back to the 1930s, when Churchill and 
       Ambassador Joseph Kennedy were adversaries on the public 
       stage.--From publisher description
