An Unfinished Life is the first major, single-volume life of John F. Kennedy
to be written by a historian in nearly four decades. Drawing upon previously
unavailable material and never-before-opened archives to tell Kennedy's story.
We learn for the first time just how sick Kennedy was, what medications he
took and concealed from all but a few, and how severely his medical condition
affected his actions as President. We learn for the first time the real story
of how Bobby was selected as Attorney General. Dallek reveals exactly what
Jack's father did to help his election to the presidency, and he follows
previously unknown evidence to show what path JFK would have taken in
the Vietnam entanglement had he survived.Dallek (LIFTS) JFK out of the gossips
and back onto the world stage, showing that while he was the son of privilege,
he faced great obstacles and fought on with remarkable courage. Never shying
away from Kennedy's weaknesses, Dallek also brilliantly explores his strengths.
The result is a portrait of a bold, brave, human Kennedy, once again a hero.
