John F. Kennedy, an unfinished life 1917-1963

One of the most engrossing biographies I have ever read…. AN UNFINISHED LIFE is nothing less than a masterpiece. Comprehensive, judicious, evenhanded, original. An Unfinished Life has the sober judgment and nuanced accuracy that make it ring true in all the controversial and tricky parts. Jack Newfield, Los Angeles Times Neither debunking nor further mythologizing, Dallek fashions a balanced but fast-paced tale of sex and power that scribes from Shakespeare to Jacqueline Susann would have killed for. –Steve Dougherty, People One of the most engrossing biographies I have ever read. . . .
