Produktbeschreibung
While JFK remains the subject of endless media attention and national fascination more than 40 years after his assassination, Dallek's book provides fresh revelations and perspective.
Robert Dallek has created a vivid portrait of a man who, because he knew how close he was to death, lived as much as he could - sometimes hurting others in the process. We meet a young Jackie, follow their courtship, and watch their marriage in publicand private. Dallek explores Kennedy's many infidelities, revealing some for the first time ever. 'An Unfinished Life' also gives us a brilliantly detailed portrait of the deep bond between Jack and Bobby, and of their enduringly complicated relationship with their father. Never shying away from Kennedy's weaknesses, Dallek also brilliantly explores his strengths. The result is a full portrait of a bold, brave, human Kennedy, once again a hero.
'An Unfinished Life' ist the book Americans have been waiting forty years to read.
