In this definitive portrait of John Fitzgerald Kennedyone of Americas most consequential and enigmatic presidentsJ. Randy Taraborrelli delivers a deeply researched and authoritative biography.

Drawing from hundreds of interviews conducted over twenty-five years, as well as candid, first-hand oral histories from the John Fitzgerald Kennedy Presidential Library, rare internal reports from the Secret Service, detailed files from the National Archives, and intelligence documents from both the CIA and FBI, this is JFK as never before captured by history: brilliant yet fallible, revered yet humana figure whose legacy continues to shape America and the world.
