In 1961 President John F. Kennedy's friend and Military Aide, General Chester V. (Ted) Clifton assigned Captain Cecil Stoughton of the Army Signal Corps to the full-time job of keeping a photographic record of President Kennedy's days in the White House. Captain Stoughton had extraordinary opportunities to photograph, to remember JFK as President, as father, as husband, as a great human being in moments of crisis and tension, of joy and relaxation, of stern responsibility -- and love.

"This book is not a deliberate assessment of his stewardship. It is a collection of memories, a compendium of emotion captured on film in Kennedy's thousand days. And yet I wonder if it does not portray the true significance of those years. Ultimately it is the character of the man that makes his Presidency. Those intangible elements which can't be entered in boxscores or measured in appropriated dollars or weighed in metric tons mean more than anything. In this realm of job and compassion, of inspiration and hope, the Kennedy record is rich and deep." -- Hugh Sidey.
