Title: Superb new work on JFK
Review: This is a really thought-provoking work. Just when you thought there could be nothing new to say about JFK, here's a really well-written & intelligent new take on JFK, which is somewhat different from the conventional. He emphasizes the role of Churchill as JFK's role model and mentor. (Interestingly, they never met.) Actually, like George W. Bush, JFK had a "father" problem. Just as George W. had to effectively "divorce" himself from his father's political legacy and become the political foster son of Ronald Reagan, so did JFK. Joe Sr.'s money was indispensable to Kennedy's political success, but it came with some seriously heavy baggage. (Appeaser, anti-Semite, etc.) So Kennedy had to "divorce" his actual father and "adopt" a "political" father: Winston S. Churchill. (For a decade after 1940, the navy blue pinstripe suit JFK had made in imitation of Churchill's was the only suit Kennedy owned.)
Is the review positive or negative?
