Through years of frustrating and informative study on Kennedy’s image and history, Reeves finally created his book, A Question of Character

However, many didn’t want Jack into office, but once there he was consistently moving, summoning all Americans to greater moral and intellectual heights. JFK appeared triumphant in all his pursuits such as the push for civil rights legislation, the Cuban Missile Crisis, etc. He was the president who was considered to have the young, fresh ideas based on moral values, despite the fact that he was morally irreprehensible.

Jack Kennedy was a TV celebrity merely idealized because of his looks not for his views on politics. He was sensitive about public image and would do anything to suppress publication that would be harmful to his campaign. Somehow, with his face being flashed across TV and him winning Pulitzer Prizes for “his” books, he managed to create an image of himself as being an intellectual. People saw Jack as a young leader who could change the face of our country.

In A Question of Character John F. Kennedy’s two lives are examined—personal and private. Reeves theme throughout his book is pointed towards his audience in how we should perceive John F. Kennedy in his entirety. We, the readers, should see JFK as who he truthfully was, in reference to claims on his moral values. He wanted Kennedy to be judged by aspects of his personal character as well as his national leadership.

Nonetheless, Thomas Reeves’ accounts of JFK’s life in this book were very accurate as well as adequate in allowing me to make this opinionated summary. Reeves’s evidence in the book held true to his theme on all counts. He wanted his audience to perceive John F. Kennedy
