Kennedy debunker Thomas C. Reeves, a historian and author of a 1991 book, "A Question of Character," attributes Kennedy's reputation to three factors: a deliberate attempt by family and friendly historians "to manufacture a hero"; the fact that the Kennedys were "beautiful people, physically attractive," and the "general historical illiteracy" in a country loath to read history. phillynews.com This, the most truthful and balanced assessment of John F. Kennedy to date, explores one of the most crucial issues of our time: The corrosive effect of private indiscretions on public service. Respected historian and biographer Thomas C. Reeves contrasts JFK's near-mythic public persona with his scandalous private behavior. The result raises thought-provoking questions about the relationship between personal character and national leadership. amazon.com From Publisher's Weekly: Solidly researched, with a wealth of new material, this riveting biography--an 11-week PW hardcover bestseller and a History Book Club main selection--explores JFK's character, or lack thereof, and assesses its influence on his presidential decision-making. (June) -Publisher's Weekly shop.barnesandnoble.com People forget that on the day Kennedy was killed, the No. 1 best seller was Victor Lasky's "JFK: The Man and the Myth." The new Hersh book heaps more reality onto the JFK myth in "The Dark Side of Camelot".
