Educated at private schools and Harvard College, young Kennedy was an indifferent student until the war in Europe focused his attention. Extensive interviews with major British politicians and observers led to an unusually precocious senior thesis that became an influential book, "Why England Slept" (1940).  As second son in the powerful [[Kennedy Family]], he was marked for an intellectual career as a writer or journalist, while his older brother Joseph was slated for politics by their manipulative father, [[Joseph P. Kennedy]]. His brother’s death in combat, combined with JFK’s heroic war record as skipper of the [[PT-109]] during [[World War II]], set the stage for his political debut as a Congressional candidate in 1946.
