Arthur M. Schlesinger reveals again his prize-winning ability to express ideas and describe personal characteristics and actions in a way that rivets the attention of the reader. A Thousand Days is a remarkably readable and detailed chronicle of the three years of the Kennedy administration. It has the full flavor that comes from intimate observation. It is vividly autobiographical as it reveals the thinking and attitudes of the author. It is also undoubtedly representative of the political attitudes of many of the other professors who advised and assisted President Kennedy.
