  First edition of Svend Aage Nielsen's Kennedy's Philosophy of Life; Lengthily inscribed by him to Rose Kennedy

  NIELSEN, Svend Aage. [John F. Kennedy; Rose Kennedy].

  Kennedy’s Philosophy of Life: Revolution of Love and Visions of Peace.

  New York: Vantage Press, 1981.

  First edition of this work by the founder of The Kennedy Society of Denmark. Octavo, original cloth, illustrated. Association copy, lengthily inscribed by the author on the front free endpaper, "Toreby Denmark February 2, 1982. Dear Mrs. Rose Kennedy, President John F. Kennedy cared so much for peace. Therefore I hope, you will find this commitment to keeping his ideals and visions alive - worth to share with your family and friends. Sincerely The author Svend Aage Nielsen." The recipient, Rose Kennedy, was the matriarch of the Kennedy family: the wife of Joseph P. Kennedy Sr. and mother of John F. Kennedy and his eight siblings. She was a devout catholic and deeply embedded in the "lace curtain" Irish American community in Boston. After her son John was elected president in 1960, Rose "became a sort of quiet celebrity" and appeared on the International Best Dressed List. Most of her social activities consisted of involvement in charities and women's groups. Very good in a very good dust jacket. An exceptional association.
