 VALUABLE June 8, 2008
Sorensen has made a valuable contribution to understanding JFK's presidency. His prose of course are outstanding, a rare experience in this type of literature.
His ability to explain complicated issues in terse but eloquent terms adds reams to understanding the president's positions on so many things: Cuba, Berlin, Civil Rights and Vietnam to name a few of many.
I hope he continues with more efforts on this subject.

A great read June 10, 2008
This is a great book. Informative and personal, from a man who has seen so much and done so much. A must read for anyone who has a passion for politics or 20th Century American History.
Up Close And Historical! June 19, 2008
John Kennedy was a great man and would have been a transformer of Washington politics. That's why they killed him!!! Ted Sorenson tells the up close and personal story of why we no longer have Jack kennedy among us.
Counselor July 14, 2008
An intriguing insight into the Kennedy presidency. Mr. Sorensen writes a very compelling account of known crisis of that time, and many accounts of happenings only known by one who was there. It is an excellent historical book.

What a disappointment. There is lots of interesting material here but it is so saturated with Sorenson's towering ego that I found it hard to finish. He takes credit for nearly everything and blame for very little.
At one point he describes one of his adversaries as not liking him much - and I remember thinking at the time it's because you're an arrogant, self centered person and I wouldn't want to work with you either.
Surprisingly - he takes on a new skin at the end of the book when he discusses his personal health issues and his aspirations and expectations for America as a country. That part was a good read.
