This is not a 5-star book. The author must have a lot of friends who will write a review for him. Not only is the book lacking in substance, but I just read an opinion of this author about Gov. Sarah Palin where he claims she is an idiot. He doesn't mention that the other candidate for VP, Joe Biden, told Katie Couric that FDR was president during the 1929 stock market crash (sorry folks, FDR came much later) or that Biden said FDR appeared on television in 1929 (sorry folks, TV came much later). No, author Richard Reeves attacked Sarah Palin as being historically challenged when Biden is the more historically challenged. You want to trust an author like that to write a book of substance about John F. Kennedy? Don't waste your money.

As the leading civilian authority on the U.S. Secret Service (and President Kennedy's interaction with the agency), I was much interested in this book by Richard Reeves. I am a big fan of Mr. Reeves---in addition to a great book on Richard Nixon, he is a great writer and speaker. You can't go wrong in purchasing this fine book. vince palamara

Jackie Kennedy is said to have given copies of this book to her children with the advice, "If you want to know your father, he is in this book." Reeves was said to be surprised at her endorsement and commented. "I wasn't terribly flattering to Jackie in the book."
Well worth the read.

After reading this book, I feel that I come out understanding the Kennedy presidency in better terms. While Sorenson and Schlesinger wrote impeccable accounts on the admininstration, they are somewhat distorted, and make Kennedy out to be a hero. This well-written and higly researched account, I feel to be the definintive account of the administration. It shows the flaws of President Kennedy, and the true personality of the man in the White House, his battle with Addison's disease. Kennedy was a very inexperienced leader at the beginning of his presidency, and I don't feel that it really dawned on him until the Bay of Pigs and the Cuban Missile Crisis.
This detailed account covers his meetings with Premier Krushchev, how he dealt with South Vietnam, and the apparent sickness that came upon him after learning of the death of Ngo Din Diem. You also see that Kennedy was very much a womanizer, almost to the point of obsession it seems. This book deserves much attention, and for anybody who has never read about President Kennedy, an excellent start.
