520    A close-up on one of American history's most splendid 
       events, JFK's inaugural week, and the creation of the 
       speech that inspired a generation and brought hope to a 
       nation, "Ask not what your country can do for you, but 
       what you can do for your country." On the January morning 
       when John F. Kennedy assumed the presidency and stood to 
       speak those words, America was divided. Citizens around 
       the world were torn by fears of war. Kennedy's speech-
       called the finest since Lincoln at Gettysburg, the most 
       memorable of any 20th-century American politician-did more
       than reassure: It changed lives, marking the start of a 
       brief, optimistic era of struggle against "tyranny, 
       poverty, disease, and war itself." Ask Not is a 
       beautifully detailed account of the week leading up to the
       inaugural which stands as one of the most moving 
       spectacles in the history of American politics. At the 
       heart of the narrative is Kennedy's quest to create a 
       speech that would distill American dreams and empower a 
       new generation. Clarke's portrait of JFK during what 
       intimates called his happiest days is balanced, revealing 
       the president at his most dazzlingly charismatic (and 
       cunningly pragmatic). As the snow gradually covers 
       Washington in a blanket of white, as statesmen and 
       celebrities arrive for candle-lit festivities, Kennedy-an 
       obsessed perfectionist-pushes himself, his family, and 
       advisors to the limit-to create greatness, to find the 
       words which captured what he most truly believed and, as 
       it happened, which far outlasted his own life. For all who
       seek to understand the fascination with all things Kennedy,
       the answer is here. Ask Not explains the phenomenon to the
       heart and mind.
