Ask Not delivers John F. Kennedy's powerful speech and includes great photographs,
yet is slow reading as all the ends get tied to JFK actually writing most of his words.

Map of the Inauguration seating is fun!

Clarke has written a true page-turner about heroic men and women acting in the midst of impending disaster. The stories of individual bravery are well researched and filled with great detail. These are stories that few people have heard but need to know.
