À propos de cet audio
In the turbulent times of a young man's high school experience, one must find his way, make himself known to his peers, and most of all, establish himself in the oftentimes hostile world he is trapped in. JFK & the Muckers of Choate takes a look at John F. Kennedy's time in high school at Choate, a preppy, Waspish all-boys boarding school.
As a Catholic at a time when anti-Catholic sentiment was rampant, JFK found that his four years in this Connecticut institution were much more jagged, complicated, and high-stakes than he expected. Why? It turned out that the future president actively defied Choate's sometimes authoritarian rulers, and in his own personal rebellion, associated himself with and led a number of similarly minded iconoclasts who wound up as his closest companions, both then and afterward.
JFK's chaotic and adventure-filled high school days, as narrated by JFK himself, not only tell us a great deal about an important, yet largely unchronicled, stop on his rapid journey to the presidency, but because it's entirely based on real events, offer us a thoroughly enjoyable and illuminating look at a charismatic American icon whom most listeners will adore, many for the first time.
