Updegrove has interviewed seven US presidents, and as the president & CEO of the Lyndon B. Johnson Foundation, ABC News’ presidential historian, and former director of the LBJ Presidential Library and publisher of Newsweek, is in a unique position to deliver this comprehensive, authoritative look at Kennedy’s consequential presidency.

Bush and George W. Bush. He currently serves as the President and CEO of the Lyndon B. Johnson Foundation and the Presidential Historian for ABC News.
