Product Description

Synopsis

There has been no complete biography like this one. Jack deals with the full scope of Kennedy's life: his family, his friends, even his infidelities. There's much new to say, much culled from hundreds of hours of tapes from the Oval Office that were unavailable until now. Through painstaking research, Geoffrey Perret located thousands of revealing documents on national security issues and foreign affairs. All of the documents from the Assassination Records Review Board are now available as well and Perret has mined the Kennedy Library in a way few others have, finding letters and diaries that have never before seen the light of day. With style and substance, Perret brings to life again the man who left such an indelible impression on the twentieth century.

5.0 out of 5 stars a brilliant journey through the life of an icon, 27 Feb 2002
Known across the world as JFK, Jack (John F. Kennedy) revitalised America's politics and people. After a period of depression and the threat of more war he gave energy and hope to the American people.

The book "Jack" tells the real story. It strips away the glamour of a pin-up from a top society family and tells the story of the real man.

With some biographies you can't wait to get beyond the pre-fame years. With Jack his development and life experiances add to the magic. His poor health and at times shocking life-style, though not a surprise to the world now, netherless amaze you when you think of what he achieved.

Kennedy was clearly an amazing man, from his early years to the assasination that stunned the world. He had an incredible, albeit short life and it unfolds in a gripping style in this book.

Nearly 40 years on and into a new century there are still questions being asked about that fateful day in Dallas. The interest and debate inspired by Kennedy are not just because of the way his life ended but by the fascinating life that he had.

Jack will tell you the real Kennedy story and will let you into "a life like no-other"
