“Politics must be moral,” say those concerned about the future. “Politics is a dirty business,” say those preoccupied with the immediate. And they often win today, but, as a rule, they lose tomorrow. John Kennedy sometimes had to succumb to gloomy principles, but in general his policy was subordinated to a bright, moral one. And it wasn’t just America that felt this. The author writes: “The murder in Dallas made the whole world shudder.” This is not a tribute to rhetoric. That part of the world, which, according to the rule prescribed to it, should have considered the US government the main source of all evil and misfortune on earth, also shuddered. But even those who firmly believed in this, and there were many of them, could not help but shudder from the shots in Dallas... Any president has more spots than the Sun. And yet there are those among them whose purpose is to make life at least a little brighter. John Kennedy is in the first rank of such presidents. The book will undoubtedly be of interest to a wide range of readers.
