Synopsis
This biography of John F. Kennedy draws on the author's access to documents and other sources that reveal some hitherto unknown information, including the true state of Kennedy's health.

But mostly this is a serious study of the life and 1,000-day presidency, with an emphasis on the foreign-policy challenges posed by Khrushchev, Castro, and Vietnam. A New York Times Notable Book for 2003.

Industry Reviews
"[A]n impressively judicious and balanced account of Kennedy's life and presidency. [A]n excellent biography...."
New York Times - David Garrow (05/28/2003)

"Every few years, a book is published that purports to deliver new findings about some aspect of Kennedy's existence...In this instance, the material is unexpected and important. Before writing, Robert Dallek, a respected presidential historian at Boston University, received permission from the family's praetorian guard to examine the president's private medical records. The results were bound to be history, and so they are....[A]ll in all, this is a most important new study of a presidency that still feels far closer than it is....It is thorough, unflinching and balanced--all qualities Kennedy would have admired, even if some of the revelations hurt."
New York Times Book Review - Ted Widmer (06/08/2003)

"It's hard to believe that someone could find anything new to say about John F. Kennedy, but Dallek succeeds in this riveting and well-documented biography."
New Yorker (07/14/2003)
