Jack is both the first comprehensive one-volume biography of JFK
and the first account of his life based on the extensive
documentary record that has finally become available, including
personal diaries, taped conversations from the White House,
recently declassified government documents, extensive family
correspondence, and crucial interviews sealed for nearly forty
years.
Jack provides a much-needed perspective on Kennedy’s bewilderingly
complex personality, presents a compelling account of the volatile
relationship between Jack and Jackie (including her attempt to
divorce him, move to Hollywood, and become a film star), and
reveals how JFK forged the modern political campaign and, once in
the White House, modernized the presidency.
Jack: A Life Like No Other is a book like no other. Here, at last,
John F. Kennedy seems to step off the page in all his vitality,
charm, and originality.
