John F. Kennedy

Veinticuatro años antes de convertirse en presidente de los Estados Unidos, John F. Kennedy emprendió una gran gira por Europa. Junto con su amigo y compañero de viaje, Lem Billings, fueron dejando registro de su estancia en el viejo continente, que entonces caia en una ola aterradora de regimenes totalitarios. Hasta ahora escondidos en la Biblioteca Presidencial de John F. Kennedy en Boston, estos diarios estudiantiles de 1937 conforman una imagen fiel del punto de vista de Kennedy durante un viaje que resulto clave para formular sus ideas posteriores sobre la democracia y liderar asi la Guerra Fria. Y si bien expone algunas conclusiones y juicios erroneos sobre el panorama politico de la epoca, tambien plantea reflexiones de gran actualidad sobre el populismo, la propaganda y sus potentes efectos en la sociedad. Con numerosas fotografias de archivo, una introduccion del director de la RAE, Santiago Muñoz Machado, y un epilogo del profesor Oliver Lubrich, aqui se reproducen, en su totalidad, los escritos no adulterados del diario de JFK en su encuentro con una Europa atormentada por el nazismo.
