✦ Synopsis

If you are like me and have read quite a bit regarding JFK, you will also likely be disappointed in this book. It is a brief summary of certain management techniques and little flourishes, (e.g. "find your Bobby"), that may have some historical reference but serious litle duplicative managent skills.
If you're a new reader to this fascinating period of presidential history and world politics, you might find this boook interesting reading.
