A New York Times Bestseller -- "What was he like?" Jack Kennedy said the reason people read biography is to answer that question. Chris Matthews gives us just that. The man you discover here wanted never to be alone, never to be bored. He loved courage,, hated war, and lived each day as if it were his last. This extraordinary biography is based on personal interviews with those close to JFK, oral histories, primary documents, and notes from Jackie Kennedy''s first interview after Dallas.
