An interesting book about the creation of John F. Kennedy's most famous speech: his Inaugural Address. The book opens with the speech itself, and then proceeds to give us an account of the ten days leading up to the Inauguration and the creation of the speech. It's a very fitting tribute to one of history's greatest speeches. ( )

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! ( )

At times Clarke’s book reads more like a cross between a linguistics paper and a boring analysis done by a forensic lexicographer, but overall the story is a good one to tell. For those who doubted that Kennedy even wrote Profiles in Courage, this should put those rumors to rest. A short but intriguing tale.
