First edition, first printing of the historian's classic work on the Kennedy administration's first thousand days. Octavo, original blue and red cloth, top stain yellow, illustrated. Boldly signed Arthur Schlesinger on the title page. Near fine in a very good dust jacket. A Thousand Days is "at once a masterly literary achievement and a work of major historical significance" (New York Times). One of the few now classic works regarding the Kennedy White House years. The noted historian Schlesinger's name is inseparable from the president's administration he so influenced. Schlesinger role as former college-attendee and later speechwriter to Kennedy served to cast the Kennedy White House years more as America's Camelot. "From The Age of Jackson to The Age of Roosevelt to the two Kennedy biographies (which could as easily have been called 'The Age of the Kennedys'), Schlesinger can be seen to have written a gapped history of 150 years of 'triumphant liberalism'" (Boston Globe). Winner of the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award, this is the classic study of the presidency of John F. Kennedy as told by a master historian who had the advantage of personally witnessing the great and tragic events of which he writes. "Of all the Kennedy books . . . this is the best." (Time).

From the dustjacket flap: Rarely does an historian have the opportunity simultaneously to record and to influence history at the very source of power. Mr. Schlesinger's position as Special Assistant to President Kennedy, with an office in the White House, brought him into close, informal contact with the men who were running the country and their counterparts abroad, with the great events and policy decisions of this brief but dramatic administration. Above all it enabled him to watch Kennedy at work; to know him as a personal friend, as a brilliant President, as a man who maintained, throughout all the crises and pressures of his lonely office, the zest and gaiety that lent magic to the Kennedy years. A weighty tome of 1086 pages including an index. The book has been protected by a mylar sleeve. ---------- Orders of $100.00 or more are shipped using tracked courier delivery services.
