Coffee @ The Kennedy Museum with Joel Nelson (Hyannis)

Join us for a cup of coffee as author and historian Joel Nelson discusses his newly book Kennedy’s Only Hero: How JFK’s Obsession with Winston Churchill Defined His Presidency. Drawing on previously unpublished archival material, British historian Joel tells the story of how Churchill’s career, writings, policies, and even daily habits profoundly shaped the future President. Under Churchill’s influence, Kennedy shed his early isolationism and developed the worldview that would propel him to the White House — his conviction in peace through strength, his faith in summits, his understanding of rhetoric, his commitment to service and global engagement. Nelson, a former Kennedy Scholar and assistant editor at Foreign Affairs journal, he currently lives in London. Meet the author, enjoy fresh coffee and have your book signed!
