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
‘From the women ‘mafia‘ pool side sex parties what a life he lead behind closed doors ! A wow of a read so much information gathered in this story just blows my mind!!’– Amazon review
“I was a kid when JFK got assassinated. Done through the years I heard as everyone did some of the dark stuff about him. Had never heard of this book at once I did. I had to order it. Beautifully written, and although it contains salacious details. They are told to instruct us that this was a man, along with his family, who were reckless in their private life, and it had hidden effects on the world. There were a few times when there was a bit too much information for me, and I simply skimmed one page or two and often didn’t read the footnotes. But it was a wonderful book . I would highly recommend it.” – (Goodbooks review)
