In this analysis of the Kennedy presidency, Paper attempts to portray his strengths and weaknesses. He evaluates Kennedy's performance as against promises by examining Kennedy's concept of the presidency, methods of decisionmaking, education of the public, and whether he inspired support for his policies and confidence in his leadership. Paper paints the picture of a man, not a myth, who was President. He finds that the man made mistakes, was a politician, was both cautious and daring, and was clearly a product of America's historical past. ISBN 0-517-52342-6.

"For Americans life will be more difficult and more challenging in the 1960's than it has ever been in the past"--John F. Kennedy. For Americans in the 1970's, these words from John Kennedy's 1960 campaign have an eerily prophetic ring, since the past decade did indeed bring unprecedented difficulties and challenges to the American people. Henry Fairlie argues that these were a self-fulfilling prophecy, that the very rhetoric and style of the Kennedys were largely responsible for the unrest and disilussionment that marked the late 1960's. "One cannot blame the Kennedy's," writes Mr. Fairlie, "for the whole displacement of politics which took pace in the 1960's; and on cannot blame them only for any of it. But the fact remains that they had an unusual impact on the social imagination of the American people during the years in which they acted, beyond the meaning of anything which they did, and that the force of that impact was to persuade the people either that the limits of politics could be transcended, or that politics could transcend the limits of the commonplace world."

The conclusions in this book rest equally on four bodies of evidence that provide a comprehensive overview of the Peace Corps' major work from its creation in 1961, the first year of the New Frontier, to mid-1977, when the newly elected Carter administration was considering how best to restore the agency to prominence here and abroad.

A counter-revisionist examination of JFK and his administration, Promises Kept presents a policy history of major domestic legislative efforts between 1961 and 1963. Bernstein focuses on administraive and congressional progress under Kennedy in civil rights, education, taxes, unemployment, Medicare, and the Peace Corps. He persuasively argues that Kennedy was indeed a successful president, showing that many of JFK's campaign promises were well on their way to enactment by the time of his assassination, even after two years of dealings with a balky and often hostile Congress, and the difficulty of working in a political system changing from conservative to liberal.

This book explores life in America during that brief promising period in the early sixties when John F. Kennedy was the U.S. president. Kennedy's optimism and charm helped to give promise to the times. At the same time, Cold War frustrations in Cuba and Vietnam worried Americans, while the 1962 Missile Crisis narrowly avoided a nuclear disaster. Early in the decade, the Civil Rights movement gained momentum through student sit-ins and Freedom Rides. Martin Luther King, Jr. emerged as a powerful spokesman for non-violent social change and gave his powerful "I Have a Dream" speech at the March on Washington in 1963. The Civil Rights movement proved to be the seedbed for many other movements in the decade. The American family was also undergoing rapid change and Betty Friedan launched what became the Women's Movement in 1963. Culture, too, underwent transformation. The Beat authors Jack Kerouac and Alan Ginsburg gained respectability, Joan Baez and Bob Dylan revived folk music, and Roy Lichtenstein and Andy Warhol produced Pop Art. Ginsberg, Aldous Huxley, Timothy Leary and Ken Kesey began to promote psychedelic drugs. The Sixties was a decade of marked political, social, and cultural change. Since 1976 W.J. Rorabaugh has taught at the University of Washington in Seattle. He is the author of The Alcoholic republic (Oxford, 1979), The Craft Apprentice (Oxford, 1986), and Berkeley at War: The 1960s (Oxford, 1989). Professor Rorabaugh has held fellowships from the National Endowment for the Humanities, the National Humanities Center, the Newberry Library, the Huntington Library, and the John F. Kennedy Library. He has served on editorial boards for the Journal of Early Republic and the History of Education Quarterly.

For more than 35 years, the Peace Corps has pursued John F. Kennedy's vision of helping people of the Third World build a better life. Yet with the exception of a few celebrations of its early years, little effort has been made to document that organization's history. Now a former deputy director of the Peace Corps offers a first-hand look at life in the agency—both in the field and at headquarters—and a radical reinterpretation of its history during the Nixon and Ford administrations. By the end of the 1960s, the Peace Corps was in disarray. Debate raged over its effectiveness, and many new volunteers embraced the antiestablishment behavior of the day's youth. When President Nixon appointed Joseph Blatchford as director in 1969, some insiders felt the agency's days were numbered—especially when Blatchford set about re-evaluating the Peace Corps' mission and initiated a program called New Directions to reorient its work. Many observers simply lump Blatchford's efforts with the failures and faults of the Nixon administration. David Searles, however, contends that the new director's initiatives revitalized the Peace Corps and made it a more relevant organization. Searles faithfully relates the history of these policies and their implementation in the field, drawing on his personal experience as country director for the Peace Corps in the Philippines. He shows how, despite constant carping from veterans of the early Peace Corps and much furor at headquarters, New Directions reenergized the agency and renewed and reaffirmed the Peace Corps' mission. Searles's descriptions of political maneuverings are incisively observed, and his firsthand characterizations of Peace Corps life richly impart the joys and frustrations of volunteer work. The Peace Corps Experience will give historians a new perspective on the agency and will also interest anyone who has served in the Peace Corps or who wants to understand it.
