Beschreibung:
Author of the critically acclaimed Orson Welles and the New York Times bestseller Katharine Hepburn, Barbara Leaming has also written for Vanity Fair and the New York Times Magazine.
Drawing on new primary sources, this biography is the first to detail the influence of British history, literature, and culture--in particular, the ideas of Winston Churchill--on America's thirty-fifth president. For the first time we trace the friendships and forces that led to the White House and shaped Kennedy's actions there. In this intimate portrait of a leader torn between politics and principle, we finally come to know the man Kennedy wanted to be and to understand his long, private struggle to become that man.
