Produktinformationen "One of Ourselves"
A fascinating and faithful account of President Kennedy's 3 1/2 day visit to Ireland in late June of 1963 - a day-by-day, hour-by-hour look at the places Kennedy visited; the people he met - political and cultural luminaries and average Irish citizens alike; the throngs who lined the roads to catch a glimpse of him or gathered to hear him speak; and the events that crowded his schedule. Exhaustively researched from written and oral sources, the book tells - and shows with 44 photos - a memorable tale of the president's "homecoming" to a people and land long etched in his heart and at last on the verge of taking their place in the modern world's politics and economy. In his Preface to the 2019 paperback edition, the author includes excerpts from the letter Mrs. Kennedy wrote to the Irish President Eamon de Valera two months after her husband was assassinated. "This moving letter was unknown to the public until after de Valera's papers at University College Dublin were opened to researchers in 2005."
