Kennedy's presidency, this #1 nationalbestseller is the first full-scale single-volume biography of JFK to bewritten by a historian in nearly four decades. Drawing on previouslyunavailable material and never-before-opened archives, _An Unfinished Life_ ispacked with revelations large and small - about JFK's health, his loveaffairs, RFK's appointment as Attorney General, what Joseph Kennedy did tohelp his son win the White House, and the path JFK would have taken in theVietnam entanglement had he survived. Robert Dallek succeeds as no otherbiographer has done in striking a critical balance - never shying away fromJFK's weaknesses, brilliantly exploring his strengths - as he offers up avivid portrait of a bold, brave, complex, heroic, human Kennedy.words : 338917trant : Yes
