Analyse the changing and conflicting interpretations and perceptions relevant to president John Fitzgerald Kennedy The changing and conflicting interpretations and perspectives of John Fitzgerald Kennedy were evident through the differing views from the “Camelot Theory” reinforced by his family and friends, to the revisionist historians’ both first and second period and the analytical historians’ views, using files from The Kennedy Presidential Library which is closed to the public and to historians. The public and private man in relation to John F. Kennedy reveals the conflicting interpretations of aspects in his life that he was credited for at the beginning and during his presidency. Information about his private life created the change in perspective as it lead to people questioning his decision making through the events while he was president, including his decisions during the Arms Race. The original view of Kennedy that Arthur Schlesinger encouraged in his “A thousand Days: John F. Kennedy in The White House” (1965) described him to be “large, warm and friendly”, although he had a very close relationship with him as he within the Kennedy administration; these views were conflicted by such people as Thomas C. Reeves in his book “A Question of Character” (1991) stating that “Kennedy was competent if unorthodox”. The historians’ that portrayed the early views of Kennedy used sources such as personal memoirs from insider witnesses and participants, interviews and notes from personal files. Unlike the revisionist historians from both the first and second periods and analytical historians’, the early historians’ don’t thoroughly research documentary records, archival materials, and secondary accounts. The interpretations and perspectives of John F. Kennedy were changed through discovered evidence and questioning from what was seen as “young historians”.
