"It's hard to believe that someone could find anything new to say about John F. Reading Length provides a calculation for the word count of this. This is nothing if not a profile in courage." ― Ted Widmer, New York Times Book Review An Unfinished Life has the sober judgment and nuanced accuracy that make it ring true in all the controversial and tricky parts." ― Jack Newfield, Los Angeles Times "Comprehensive, judicious, evenhanded, original. In a tale that stretches back to Ireland, An Unfinished Life describes the birth of the Kennedy dynasty, the complexity of Jack's early years, and the mixture of adulation and resentment that tangled his relationships with his mother, Rose, and his father, Joseph. Robert Dallek succeeds as no other biographer has done in striking a critical balance - never shying away from JFK's weaknesses, brilliantly exploring his strengths - as he offers up a vivid portrait of a bold, brave, complex, heroic, human Kennedy. Drawing on previously unavailable material and never-before-opened archives, An Unfinished Life is packed with revelations large and small - about JFK's health, his love affairs, RFK's appointment as Attorney General, what Joseph Kennedy did to help his son win the White House, and the path JFK would have taken in the Vietnam entanglement had he survived.
