King
Stephen
2011 |
Novel.
Jake Epping is an English teacher in Lisbon Falls,Maine, who makes extra
money teaching in an adult education programme.
One day, he receives an essay from one of his students - a harrowing first
person story about the night, fifty years earlier, when Harry Dunning's
father came home and killed Harry's mother, his sister, and his brother
with a sledgehammer.
Later, Jake's friend Al, who runs the local diner, divulges an
extraordinary secret: his storeroom is a portal to 1958. He enlists Jake
on an insane - an insanely possible - mission to try to prevent the
Kennedy assassination.
Inspired by his desire to put things right for Harry Dunning, Jake leaves
a world of iPods and mobile phones for a new world of Elvis and JFK, of
big American cars, root beers and Lindy Hopping. It is a haunting world of
a troubled loner named Lee Harvey Oswald and a beautiful high school
librarian named Sadie Dunhill, who becomes the love of Jake's life - a
life that transgresses all the normal rules of time.
With extraordinary imaginative power, King explores the culture of the era
and weaves it into a devastating exercise in escalating suspense.
11.22.63 is a love story, a tribute to a simpler time and place and a
heartstopping "What if" tour de force the like of which no-one has ever
read. |

Burdick
Eugene & Wheeler Harvey
1968 |
Italian version (1968) of the novel
"Fail-Safe"(1962).
On the cover of 1968 Italian edition :"il romanzo che non aveva
previsto la morte di John F.Kennedy ma quella di Jacqueline".
Fail-Safe is a best-selling novel by Eugene Burdick and Harvey
Wheeler. The story was initially serialized in three installments in the
Saturday Evening Post on October 13, 20, and 27, 1962, during the Cuban
Missile Crisis.
The popular and critically acclaimed novel, released in late October 1962,
was then adapted into a 1964 film of the same name directed by Sidney
Lumet and starring Henry Fonda, Dan O'Herlihy, and Walter Matthau. In
2000, the novel was adapted again for a televised play, broadcast live in
black and white on CBS. All three works have the same theme—accidental
nuclear war—with the same plot. |
A Time to Heal
[Autobiography of Gerald R.Ford] |
|
Ford Gerald
R.
1979 |
This book is at once the autobiography of a
political career and the human story of a dedicated but unassuming man
propelled by history into taking on the immense burdens of the Presidency.
This is a refreshingly
unpretentious yet vivid book. Jerry Ford simply tells it as it was : the
journey from modest Midwestern beginnings to the White House - the tough
choices, the personal sacrifices, the joys of success, the mistakes, the
rousing partisan battles, the moments of terror during attempted
assassinations, the times of fear when his beloved wife faced cancer. |
A Very Private Woman
[The Life and Unsolved Murder of Presidential Mistress Mary Meyer] |
|
Burleigh
Nina
1999 |
In 1964, Mary
Pinchot Meyer, the beautiful, rebellious, and intelligent ex-wife of a top
CIA official, was killed on a quiet Georgetown towpath near her home. Mary
Meyer was a secret mistress of President John F.Kennedy, whom she had
known since private school days, and after her death, reports that she had
kept a diary set off a tense search by her brother-in-law, newsman Ben
Bradlee, and CIA spymaster James Jesus Angleton. But the only suspect in
her murder was acquitted, and today her life and death are still a source
of intense speculation, as Nina Burleigh reveals in her widely praised
book, the first to examine this haunting story. |
Ambassador's
Journal |
|
Galbraith
John Kenneth
1969 |
A few days after the election in 1960,
President Kennedy called Mr Galbraith to tell him he was to be his
Ambassador to India. As he tells in the book, Mr Galbraith decided that it
would be an interesting time and resolved to keep a journal. So he did and
this is it. Never before has there been such an expert account of exactly
what an American ambassador does.
His diary will be counted one of the most important, certainly one of the
most readable, of the books on the Kennedy years. |

2001 |
It
would be a travesty if Dallas were only ever remembered in conjunction
with a single vile moment in American history that transpired on November

Instead it should be remembered for the determination and perseverance of
those who have fought and labored to build a city of over one million
people. Chosen from over one million early photographs catalogued by the
Dallas Library, the images included in this book illustrate how a modern
city grew from a single log cabin. |

Italian version of the book "November 22,
1963: A Novel" by Adam Graver.
This novel chronicles the day of John F. Kennedy's assassination and
explores the intersection of stories and memories and how they represent
and mythologize that defining moment in history. Jackie's story is
interwoven with the stories of real people intimately connected with that
day: a man who shares cigarettes with Jackie outside the trauma room; a
motorcycle policeman flanking the motorcade; Abe Zapruder, who caught the
assassination on film; the White House servants waiting for Jackie to
return; and the morticians overseeing President Kennedy’s autopsy. |

Dialoghi della Nuova
Frontiera |
|
Luigi Preti
1970 |
In Italian.
"Dialoghi della Nuova Frontiera" is a theatrical script about John Kennedy
and his "New Frontier", written in 1970 from Luigi Preti
(1914-2009), historical leader of PSDI (Social Democratic Italian party) ,
a member of the Constituent Assembly and more times minister in
Italian government.
The term New Frontier was used by liberal, Democratic presidential
candidate John F. Kennedy in his acceptance speech in the 1960 United
States presidential election to the Democratic National Convention at the
Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum as the Democratic slogan to inspire America
to support him. The phrase developed into a label for his administration's
domestic and foreign programs. |
Dr. Feelgood |
|
Richard A.
Lertzman & William J.Birnes
2013 |
The Shocking Story of the
Doctor Who May Have Changed History by Treating and Drugging JFK, Marilyn,
Elvis, and Other Prominent Figures.
Doctor Max Jacobson, whom the Secret Service under President John F.
Kennedy code-named “Dr. Feelgood,” developed a unique “energy formula”
that altered the paths of some of the twentieth century’s most iconic
figures, including President and Jackie Kennedy, Marilyn Monroe, Frank
Sinatra, and Elvis. JFK received his first injection (a special mix of
“vitamins and hormones,” according to Jacobson) just before his first
debate with Vice President Richard Nixon. The shot into JFK’s throat not
only cured his laryngitis, but also diminished the pain in his back,
allowed him to stand up straighter, and invigorated the tired candidate.
Kennedy demolished Nixon in that first debate and turned a tide of
skepticism about Kennedy into an audience that appreciated his energy and
crispness. What JFK didn’t know then was that the injections were actually
powerful doses of a combination of highly addictive liquid methamphetamine
and steroids.
Author and researcher Rick Lertzman and New York Times bestselling author
Bill Birnes reveal heretofore unpublished material about the mysterious
Dr. Feelgood. Through well-researched prose and interviews with
celebrities including George Clooney, Jerry Lewis, Yogi Berra, and Sid
Caesar, the authors reveal Jacobson’s vast influence on events such as the
assassination of JFK, the Cuban Missile Crisis, the Kennedy-Khrushchev
Vienna Summit, the murder of Marilyn Monroe, the filming of the C. B.
DeMille classic The Ten Commandments, and the work of many of the great
artists of that era. Jacobson destroyed the lives of several famous
patients in the entertainment industry and accidentally killed his own
wife, Nina, with an overdose of his formula.

Il
successore |
|
Burdick Eugene
1964 |
IL SUCCESSORE is the Italian version of the
book "The 480", a political fiction novel by Eugene Burdick (1964).
The plot evolves around the political turmoil after John F. Kennedy
assassination in 1963. In the novel, a fictitious charismatic character,
John Thatch, an engineer, is seeking nomination for the Republican Party
candidate at 1964 presidential elections. He is described as being
contaminated with the "political virus". A handful of political
professionals is promoting his nomination, in confrontation with the Party
establishment. There exist apparent parallels between Thatch and Henry
Cabot Lodge, Jr., a write-in hero at New Hampshire primary.
The novel criticizes the socio-political effects on society at large from
the use of computers to run massive simulations, which predict the public
reaction to certain (proposed) political moves before implementing them.
Such simulations make it easy to manipulate the public consciousness.
The 480 in the title denotes the number of groups (by party affiliation,
socioeconomic status, location, origin, etc.) that the computer simulation
uses to classify the American electorate. The full list of these is
reproduced in the Appendix, claimed by the author to be the true list used
by the Simulmatics Corporation (real name) in Senator John F. Kennedy's
Presidential campaign in 1960.
The Simulmatics Corporation was created by MIT Professor Ithiel de Sola
Pool, who provided a non-fiction backup to "The 480" in "Candidates,
Issues, and Strategies: A Computer Simulation of the 1960 Presidential
Election," MIT Press, 1964 (with co-authors Robert P. Abelson and Samuel
L. Popkin). They built their model from 130,000 archived interviews in
Gallup and Roper polls over a ten-year period. Based on its output, they
advised Kennedy that he would benefit from a strong civil rights stand and
that he had nothing to lose, and much to gain, by attacking religious
bigotry and dealing frankly with his Catholicism. |
In
His Steps
[Lyndon Johnson and
the Kennedy Mystique] |
|
Paul R.Henggeler
1991 |
In the White House, Lyndon Johnson was
haunted by the myth of Camelot. In this intimate personal and political
history based on exhaustive new research, Paul Henggeler chronicles
Johnson's frustrating struggle with John and Robert Kennedy.
LBJ saw in them both opportunities and threats. Towards John he felt
affection and respect, and he often drew upon the "Kennedy legacy" in his
conduct of the presidency, recognizing its immense political value. But
Johnson feared Robert Kennedy as the living embodiment of that legacy and
as a man who was determined to dethrone him.
Drawing upon thousands of fresh documents as well as published sources,
Paul Henggeler has constructed a fascinating and revealing account of
personalities and politics which crippled the Johnson presidency and
produced dramatic upheaval at the highest level of government. |

Connally's death, is the story of his life in politics, a life of almost
Shakespearean range, marked by great triumphs as well as personal tragedy
and heartbreak. |

JFK and Mary Meyer.
A Love Story. |
|
Kornbluth Jesse
2020 |
A Novel.
John F. Kennedy said he needed sex every three days or he
got a headache. In the White House, he never had a headache. Kennedy met
Mary Pinchot in 1935, when he was eighteen and she was sixteen. Twenty
years later, when she was living in Virginia and married to Cord Meyer, a
high-ranking CIA official, she was Jack and Jackie Kennedy’s next-door
neighbor. In 1962, she was an artist, divorced, living in Washington—and
Kennedy’s first serious romance. Mary Pinchot Meyer was more than a
bedmate. She was Kennedy’s beacon light: his sole female adviser, spending
mornings in the Oval Office, and, at night, discussing issues. After the
1964 election, Kennedy said, he would divorce Jackie and marry her.
After the assassination, Mary didn’t believe Lee Harvey Oswald acted
alone, and she shared that view, loudly and often, in Washington’s most
elite circles. Her ex-husband urged her to be silent, but when the report
of the Warren Commission was released, she was even more loudly critical.
On October 10, 1964, two days before her forty-forth birthday, as she
walked in Georgetown, a man shot her in the head and the heart. That
night, Mary's best friend called her sister. “Mary had a diary,” she said.
“Get it.”
The diary was filled with sketches, notes for paintings—and ten pages
about an affair with an unnamed lover. Her sister burned it. In JFK and
Mary Meyer: A Love Story, Jesse Kornbluth recreates the diary Mary might
have written. Working from a timeline of Kennedy’s presidency and every
documented account of their public relationship, he has written a
high-octane thriller that tracks this secret, doomed romance—and invites
readers to solve Mary’s murder. |

Schlesinger Artur M., Jr
2007 |
A landmark
publication in the history of American letters and a unique opportunity to
celebrate the legacy of one of the great public intellectuals of our time.
For more than a half century, Arthur
Schlesinger Jr was at the vital center of American political and cultural
life.
From his entrance in political leadership circles in the 1950s through his
years in the Kennedy White House and up until his very last days, he was
that rare thing, a master historian who enjoyed an extraordinary
eyewitness vantage on history as it was being made.
For most of his adult life, Arthur Schlesinger Jr dutifully recorded his
experience and opinions in journals that, before this book, had never been
seen. Edited by his oldest sons, they offer remarkably fresh and lucid
observations on a half century of public life, and a rare and privileged
view into the mind of one of America's most distinguished men of letters. |

Kick Kennedy's
Secret Diary |
|
Braudy Susan
2018 |
Historical
fiction diary.
At the dawn of the Blitz, American Ambassador Joseph
Kennedy rushes his family from England back home to Bronxville - but his
beautiful rebellious daughter Kathleen ("Kick") has bigger plans. Ignoring
air raids and family banishment Kick returns to her forbidden sweetheart
in London.
Everybody adored fun-loving Kick Kennedy except her cold mother Rose who
loved being very-rich and very-Catholic and the Ambassador's wife. Kick
Kennedy's Secret Diary is an intimate peek behind the spurious facade of
America's royal family. This historical fiction diary is the whirlwind
story of JFK's little sister and favorite person-- she's a bobby dazzler
with an awesome trail of swooning British suitors.
Ambitious and daring and the star of every party, Kick earns the nickname
la petite questionneuse for asking many many questions, such as "Will God
desert me if I marry a good Anglican?" Ever pushing boundaries Kick
struggles to balance her strong faith and family loyalty with a marriage
proposal from the Anglican and kind William Cavendish, heir to the most
powerful duchy in England. As his wife, Kick would one day be second only
to the Queen herself.
Kick and her beloved Billy-o marry knowing she may alienate her family
forever. But when her loyal husband of two weeks disappears on the
battlefield, Kick struggles to make a life for herself alone in London
where sexual awakening lurks.
Praised by author Michael Wolff (Fire and Fury) for exhibiting the
"literary charm of Penelope Lively" and the "romantic fervor of Barbara
Cartland," Kick Kennedy's Secret Diary is damn good fun. Readers will love
Kick's cheeky adventures with Winston Churchill, Aly Khan and the ribald
Pamela Digby Churchill.
Caught between her father's political ambitions and her mother's rejecting
jealousy, Kick's defiance is a treat for lovers of historical fiction: her
struggles to be her own person inspire. |

of Dr. King. |
