Chronicles John F. Kennedy's childhood, wartime actions, political campaigns, presidency, marriage and personal life, and health, revealing insights into his life from new documents, archives, and firsthand sources.

"[A]n impressively judicious and balanced account of Kennedy's life and presidency. [A]n excellent biography...."

David Garrow, New York Times, 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."

Ted Widmer, New York Times Book Review, 06/08/2003
