Everywhere acclaimed for its compelling narrative, its fresh insights, and its
dispassionate appraisal of John F. Kennedy's presidency, this #1 national
bestseller is the first full-scale single-volume biography of JFK to be
written by a historian in nearly four decades. Drawing on previously
unavailable material and never-before-opened archives, _An Unfinished Life_ is
packed with revelations large and small - about JFK's health, his love
affairs, RFK's appointment as Attorney General, what Joseph Kennedy did to
help his son win the White House, and the path JFK would have taken in the
Vietnam entanglement had he survived. Robert Dallek succeeds as no other
biographer has done in striking a critical balance - never shying away from
JFK's weaknesses, brilliantly exploring his strengths - as he offers up a
vivid portrait of a bold, brave, complex, heroic, human Kennedy.
