This book was written without the benefits of such resources-none were offered, and none sought. It took several years of whatever 'spare' time I could find between doing a full-time job and bringing up a baby, and I paid for all travel, phone and other expenses myself. I include this information not in any bid for canonisation, but to encourage others daunted by the prospect of embarking on a book project without the advantages of a full-time academic career. It is possible if you are prepared to take your time, can find an understanding publisher, and have the support of a great family. That said, this book depended on many people who helped me find contacts. These include

In the domestic arena, he proposed an alternative approach for urban renewal, and became remarkably popular with black voters (even more popular than has previously been accepted). This study attempts to fathom the full extent of this relationship and how powerful it could have become. Kennedy was also among the first politicians of his generation to use the political muscle of the youth groups which were springing up in the mid-'60s, and the alternative labour organisations (most notably in California) which found themselves excluded from the old union power structures. The study also charts his rise in the anti-Vietnam war movement, and questions his reputation as a hard-line anti communist which emerged during the Kennedy administration. It examines his presidential campaign in the context of his alternative liberal coalition, and an analysis of his primary results suggests that the accepted wisdom of a Kennedy poverty coalition (made up of low-income black and white voters) is largely mythological. Finally, the study offers some tentative conclusions about the real nature of Kennedy's contribution to modern liberalism, and a brief historiography.

The book traced the historical links from the 1840s with a focus on the 1960s, and brought new perspectives to the academic research of both contexts, which had generally been explored separately. By reflecting on a review of literature produced since 1998, the critical analysis shows how the book has influenced academic reach since, including on the transnational connections between the two experiences. It also explores how the civil rights movements in both countries have inspired and guided contemporary struggles, notably those in the Middle East, and continue to inform and guide activists and policy-makers.
