Title: Poor, ghost-written history
Review: First, JFK did not write this book. Rather, it was written for him by a number of people, and one of the writers described it as 'a very sloppy job, mostly magazine and newspaper clippings stuck together', when seen in its original state. Joe Kennedy, the President's father, made it a best-seller by using his influence with publishers like Henry Luce. Old Joe also helped out by purchasing 30,000 to 40,000 copies of the "book" and storing them at the family compound in Hyannisport. See Paul Johnson's A History of the American People for full details... Save your money, and your time.
