SUMMARY:Kennedy’s Only Hero/Author Event with Joel Nelson (in-person)
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a presentation with author Joel Nelson\, to celebrate the release of his book\, Kennedy’s Only Hero. \nThe surprising story of how John F. Kennedy’s obsession with Winston Churchill defined his life\, transformed his politics\, and helped elevate him to the nation’s highest office. \n“A fascinating and discerning exploration of how one iconic twentieth-century leader helped shape the rhetoric and political persona of another.” -Fredrik Logevall\, author of JFK \nWinston Churchill remains one of the modern age’s most revered leaders. His life has been the subject of decades of mythmaking and scrutiny\, and yet few know the powerful sway he had over another twentieth-century political icon—John F. Kennedy. Drawing on deep wells of unpublished archival material\, Kennedy’s Only Hero uncovers Kennedy’s obsession with Churchill\, whose career\, policies\, writings\, and even daily habits profoundly shaped the future president. \nKennedy discovered Churchill’s books as a teenager and by his early twenties had become an unswerving believer in his brilliance. Under Churchill’s influence\, Kennedy rejected his own youthful isolationism and adopted the approach to national and international politics that propelled him to the presidency. Although they would not meet until late in their lives\, Churchill’s influence on Kennedy’s campaign tactics\, speeches\, and worldview was overwhelming. Kennedy’s conviction in the power of peace through strength\, his faith in summits\, his understanding of the importance of rhetoric\, and his deep commitment to service and global engagement—all came from Churchill. \nKennedy’s Only Hero is an enlightening and deeply human story of an admiration and aspiration that changed the course of history. \nJoel Nelson is a British writer and historian. He took a first-class honours degree in History at Jesus College\, Oxford\, in 2016\, and an MPhil from the University of Cambridge in 2017. He subsequently worked as an advisor to Rory Stewart\, an editor at Foreign Affairs\, and as Director of European Policy at an AI think-tank in Washington\, D.C. \nIn 2020\, Joel won a Kennedy Scholarship and\, knowing almost nothing about the man the scholarship was named for\, bought a recently published biography of JFK. Fascinated by the book’s occasional references to Kennedy’s interest in Churchill\, he decided to research the subject. Joel discovered a trove of material in archives on both sides of the Atlantic\, and spent the following five years researching and writing his account of Kennedy’s obsession.  Kennedy’s Only Hero is the result. It is his first book. \nCo-sponsored by the Avon Library and Avon Historical Society. \nBooks will be for sale at this event. \nPlease register\, so we can set the community room up with appropriate seating. \n  \n
