Buy the book. You will enjoy it immensely. It is a devastating critique of Kennedy at a personal, rather than a policy, level. There is not a lot of new information in it, but the fact that it was written by Hersch seems to have put to rest the debate about Kennedy's personal excesses. Hersch took a lot of heat from the left for his "betrayal" of the Kennedy "mystique." You will be enraged by Hersch's descriptions as to how the media either covered up or ignored Kennedy's activities. Whenever I see Ben Bradlee on television, I think about how he helped facilitate a relationship between Kennedy and his sister-in-law. Bimbos everywhere. Bill Clinton probably read the book and said, [insert drawl - easier for you then me] "Damn, why couldn't my White House years have been like that."
