John F. Kennedy’s Women: The Story of a Sexual Obsession

John F. Kennedy’s Women: The Story of a Sexual Obsession

After an initial honeymoon with historians, in recent years John F. Kennedy has been more carefully scrutinized. Michael Oâ€™Brien, who knows as much about Kennedy as any historian now writing, here takes a comprehensive look at the feature of Camelot that remained largely under the radar during the White House years: Kennedyâ€™s womanizing. Indeed, Oâ€™Brien writes, Kennedyâ€™s approach to women and sex was near pathological, beyond the farthest reaches of the mediaâ€™s imagination at the time. The record makes for an astonishing piece of presidential history.
