This three page undergraduate paper is in the form of a book review of Kennedy's Wars: Berlin, Cuba, Laos, and Vietnam. The author notes that the book is excellent, for it objectively examines the international, political, and military issues facing John F. Kennedy, skilfully explains the dilemmas JFK faced, and analyzes why he was able to demonstrate American resolve in Berlin, Cuba, Laos, and Vietnam without provoking Soviet responses that could have led to an atomic holocaust.
