Let the Word Go Forth: The Speeches, Statements, and Writings of John F. Kennedy 1947 to 1963

I grew up listening to JFK, but after 50+ years it's nice to be able to read the words I heard spoken, and a lot more that I didn't. Kennedy's words were not only for the generation, they're for the ages, and perhaps even more pertinent today, than they were then. The candidates for President in 2016 would do well to read Kennedy's thoughts on The Presidency, and what it represents not only to the people of the United States, but the world. His words are inspiring, but at the same time can cause the reader to despair of the current state of politics, and each political party's determination to have everything their way, or allow nothing, leaving the America people with dysfunctional government at every level. If you want to read about one man's vision of what government by the people, for the people, and of the people can be, read Kennedy!

There was a particular speech he gave on our all being born to this planet and this book helped me find it. Thank you! This is a book to cherish. He was such a gifted writer. People today don't know the extent of his abilities.

Jfk is one of the most remarkable public speakers to ever live. Seeing the written words makes it even more epic!

JFK is always impressive, he is hard not to like. JFK is gone and Mr. Sorenson, speech writer for JFK, could have taken all the credit. Instead, Mr. Sorenson gave all the credit to JFK, refreshing honest. In Mr. Sorensons book, he included many speeches of JFK. I have no idea what he did not include.I leave that to experts on JFK, which I am not. What I can say is this is a great book, full of JFK words. Great book!

This book was a great read, written by inspirational men. I wish we had leaders today with the vision of JFK.

it's a great book. i've read many times before i bought but had to have it on my shelf.

Between the minds of Ted Sorensen and JFK — how can you lose? I try to read one section daily.

Always interesting to read a speech you've seen delivered... A completely different experience. Having gone from a master orator like President Obama to Trump is a good example.
