"To Edyth - our best volunteer, If we had had your help we could have gotten this book done sooner, too": First edition of John F. Kennedy's The Strategy of Peace; inscribed by his political aide "Mike" Myer Feldman
First edition of the selected foreign policy speeches and statements on defense, peace, and national security delivered by Kennedy during his 1960 presidential campaign. Octavo, original cloth. Association copy, inscribed on the front pastedown by Kennedy's aide "Mike" Myer Feldman, "To Edyth - our best volunteer, If we had had your help we could have gotten this book done sooner, too. Mike Feldman." "Mike" Myer Feldman served as an American political aide in the Kennedy and Johnson administrations. Under Kennedy he was tasked with compiling negative information on Richard Nixon during Kennedy's election campaign, as well as helping with speech writing and television interviews. The recipient, Edythe Jacobs was an educator, political activist and environmental advocate who volunteered for the Kennedy campaign. Near fine in a near fine dust jacket.
"Readers will find here instruction and sagacity on our knottier problems. They will find also a true philosophy of government, for the Senator has his own vision and his own system of ideas. The speeches will accomplish their best aim if they raise others to the level of the vision. They are rooted in a faith that the greatness of the nation lies in its plain people, who have always profoundly believed that America has a mission, and in that belief are ready to respond to calls to their higher motives" (Allan Nevins, Introduction).
