John F. Kennedy's early years were formative for his knowledge of international relations, and provided him the ability to steer the nation through perilous events in the Cold War during his presidency. In this episode, we interview Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Fredrik Logevall about insights he uncovered about JFK’s early life and career in his new biography, JFK: Coming of Age in the American Century, 1917–1956.
