A monumental work of investigative journalism from one of the
greatest reporters in American history, revealing the Kennedy White
House as never before. In this widely acclaimed and bestselling
book, the award-winning investigative reporter Seymour M. Hersh
reveals a John F. Kennedy we have never seen before, a man
insulated from the normal consequences of behavior long before he
entered the White House. His father, Joe, set the pattern: Kennedys
could do exactly what they wanted. There was no secret that money
and charm could not hide. Kennedys wrote their own moral code. By
the end of Jack Kennedy's life, his private recklessness had begun
to edge into his public life, putting him -- and his nation -- at
risk. Now, for the first time, Seymour Hersh tells the real story
of those risks, as he brilliantly re-creates the life and world of
a crisis-driven president who maintained a facade of cool toughness
while negotiating private compromises unknown to even his closest
advisers. Not merely a great read, Much of what's in The Dark Side
of Camelot is also 1) new; 2) shocking; 3) well supported; and 4)
worth knowing. --Jacob Weisberg, Slate
