I have just finished reading Francine Mathews' excellent historical fiction of Jack Kennedy's trip to Europe in the summer of 1939, researching his senior thesis, "Why England Slept" while he carries out a secret spy trip for Franklin Roosevelt, unbeknownst to his father, Joseph Kennedy, the ambassador to England. His trip takes him to Paris, Berlin, Prague and other itineraries that were actual travel destination of the actual Jack Kennedy.. The spying is all fiction, but believable. The Book makes Jack Kennedy a real hero, interesting. In the epilog, Francine Mathews gives a list of books to read about young Jack Kennedy. More food for thought. It was a very interesting and thrilling book to read. Published 2011. Title: Jack 1939
