Title: Worth The Ten-Cent Used Book Price? Yes!
Review: One of the best books about the Kennedys, The Kennedy Men is deficient in only two ways: inelegant repetition of words and descriptive terms, sometimes within the same sentence, inept picture captions; and the author's flabby adherence to the media-celebrated Oswald-alone notion of JFK's death. Its strengths are many: a bold writing style, a truly impressive handling of what must have been a huge mass of unwieldy source material, a fair rendering of the complex character of Joe Kennedy, Senior; and a skillful recreation of contrasting moods and settings--pol-mad Old Boston, prep-school football afternoons, dread Ex-Com meetings, breezy days on the Cape.
