Reexamines the last months of President John F. Kennedy's life to show a man in the midst of great change, finally on the cusp of making good on his promise.

A revelatory, minute-by-minute account of the 35th President's final months examines his considerable roles in advancing civil rights and the Limited Test Ban Treaty, recounts the death of his premature infant son and considers what might have occurred had he not been assassinated.

Chronicles the events surrounding the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, focusing on how the attack affected the lives of those who lived through it.

Provides an account of Robert F. Kennedy's campaign for president of the United States which began when he announced his candidacy on March 16, 1968, and ended eighty-two days later with his assassination, and attempts to answer the question of what he had that drew people to him and causes him to be remembered forty years later.
