Recensione

Praise for Nigel Hamilton’s JFK: Reckless Youth

“The revelations make it sensational in every sense of the word and, on every page, utterly fascinating.”
—Los Angeles Times Book Review

“Vivid, readable, dramatic...the central and authoritative reference on Kennedy’s early life.”
—Michael R. Beschloss, The Boston Globe

“Riveting, impressively researched, at times shocking...promises to be the fullest, most revealing portrait of Kennedy’s personal and political development.”
—Publishers Weekly

“The rich, gripping first volume of an ambitious full-scale life of John F. Kennedy...easily takes its place beside the best of recent presidential portraits. Nigel Hamilton refuses to turn away from the sheer paradox and ambiguity of the man—the narcissism and self-deprecation, charm and coldness, loyalty and cruelty....It is a book not only about a remarkable young John F. Kennedy, but also about American democracy’s own still-reckless age.”
—Roger Morris, The New York Times Book Review
