John F. Kennedy's inaugural address of 1961 was an unforgettable, stirring call to arms, in which he exhorted all Americans "Ask not what your country can do for you - ask what you can do for your country." In honor of the fiftieth anniversary of that address, Viking will issue a handsome, collectible edition of the speech, which also features an introduction by Caroline Kennedy, daughter of the late president, and a vivid historical overview of the state of the world at that date by award-winning author Elizabeth Partridge. Also included are Robert Frost's poem read on the occasion of the inauguration and excerpts from some of John F. Kennedy's other most memorable speeches.
