John F. Kennedy - Tapa blanda

"O'Brien weighs the evidence, considers earlier authors' conclusions and renders a judgement that is usually thoughtful and convincing it may be rash to credit anyone with having the last word on anything, but it is difficult to imagine anyone improving." The Washington Post."

"John F. Kennedy" is an effort to create an absorbing, balanced, and distinguished biography of one of America's most legendary Presidents. While current fashion in Kennedy scholarship is to deride the man's achievements, this book describes Kennedy's strengths, explains his shortcomings, and offers many new revelations. This is also the first biography to take advantage of the huge volume of new material released from government archives and the JFK library. Over a decade in the making, this is a balanced and judicious profile that goes beyond the clash of interpretations and offers a fresh, nuanced perspective.
