Title: An above average effort by Geoffrey Perret.
Product review: If you've never read Perret's books, you should know that he is simply a literary recycler. In other words, there is rarely anything new in his books, and in some past books, most notably his book on Ulysses Grant, there are some glaring errors that any author/historian and editor would be ashamed of.This book is, however, a good read. In fact, while there's little that is new, there are pages here that are just as good as anything in a JFK biography. There's a grace to some of the writing in this book.Sometimes I found myself cringing at some of his sources (Seymour Hersh's book comes to mind), but for the most part it's assembled well.Despite the number of JFK books out there, there are few one volume titles out there. This might be a good place to start if that's what you're seeking.
