Description

"The late President John Kennedy by compelling Mr. Khrushchev to remove the missils from Cuba which were threatening the life of Americans"

ALS signed “D. Ben-Gurion,” one page, 4.5 x 8.25, November 20, 1968. Handwritten letter to John Buchanan, in part: "My answer to your first question is—the late President John Kennedy by compelling Mr. Khrushchev to remove the missils from Cuba which were threatening the life of Americans…I have no special profession. When I came to this country I worked on the land as a hired agricultural worker. Now I am writing books." In fine condition.

From the personal collection of a lifelong collector, teacher, and traveler with a passion for world history. His collecting years ranged from the 1970s to the present day, meaning that several of the premier pieces have not been on the market in decades.
