I have read many biographical accounts of the life of John F. Kennedy but this is by far the best that I have read. It is thorough, tells the backstory of the characters that effected his growing up years and of the world and the country throughout each time period in his life. I hadn't read many accounts of this most famous of presidents about his childhood and specifically about his time in schools from his younger years until his boarding school year. This one gives detailed account not just of Kennedy but of his friends and the relationships he had with them and the other adults in his life. It details how little his parents were involved in those years, their extreme wealth, the many houses they called home, and the intricacies of the complicated marriage of Joe and Rose. The complicated relationships in Kennedy's relationships with women is also included. In addition, there is a great deal about Joe Jr. and the competition John felt with him and how that helped shape his character and later life including his ambitions. For fans of Kennedy and this time period in history this is a great read and one you will not want to miss. It is the first in a series that you will enjoy. Thanks to #NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review #NetGalley#JFK by Fredik Logevall..
