For the series finale of The Realignment's daily Ukraine coverage, Marshall spoke with Dr. Fredrik Logevall, author of JFK: Coming of Age in the American Century, 1917-1956. They discussed how college-aged JFK, his older brother Joseph P. Kennedy, Jr., and their father, Joseph P. Kennedy, then serving as U.S. Ambassador to Great Britain, responded to the lead up to World War II in Europe and what we can learn when facing our own international crises today.
