Reviews

&#8220Sorensen was so close to his chief cerebrally that this book . . . is the nearest we will have to the memoirs Kennedy intended to write himself.” —  New York Times Book Review

&#8220Thrilling. . . . Crammed with important detail . . . much of which had not been previously known. . . . It is a more revealing book than if President Kennedy had written it himself.” — The Christian Science Monitor

&#8220The authority of the true alter ego. . . . One feels that Sorensen’s Kennedy is a highly substitute for the book Kennedy was going to write—and possibly more candid and accurate than anything Kennedy might have written, with or withour his help, as an ex-President.” — The New Yorker
