Robert Dallek was a winner of the Bancroft Prize for his book FDR and American Foreign Policy. An Unfinished Life: John F. Kennedy, 1917-1963, published in 2003, sold 230,000 copies in hardcover in the United States and Canada and an equal number of copies in hardcover and trade paperback in the United Kingdom. He lives in Washington, D.C.

Let Every Nation Know is the first book of its kind-a historical biography in Kennedy's own words. Combining a remarkable audio CD of Kennedy's most famous speeches, debates and press conferences with the insights of two of America's preeminent historians, the result is a unique look at the world-changing words and presidency of John F. Kennedy.

Robert Dallek, author of the #1 bestselling biography An Unfinished Life, and Terry Golway, author of Washington's General, bring to life the soaring oratory, marvelous wit and the intense drama of Kennedy's words and the events they evoke.

"I had forgotten just how powerful these speeches were but the CD brings them to life once more and Dallek and Golway have done a masterful job of putting them into context."-Bob Schieffer, CBS News
