It is packed with new detail about Kennedy’s early life and his behind-the-scenes machinations: his involvement in a cheating incident in prep school; his first attempt at romance; and his many back-channel political operations. He includes new revelations about the 1960 and 1968 presidential campaigns, the Cuban Missile Crisis, and RFK’s long struggles with J. Edgar Hoover and Lyndon B. Johnson, both of whom were subtly and not-so-subtly trying to blackmail the Kennedys.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eIn a clear and fast-paced narrative, Thomas cuts through the mythology to reveal a character who remains one of the century’s most fascinating men.","brand":"Simon \u0026 Schuster","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":46741430042851,"sku":"DTRSSUS-9780743203296","price":138.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1778\/4925\/files\/O_d8b9574b-fd97-4ca7-bc26-26b960ac2951.jpg?v=1750566797","url":"https:\/\/buybookbook.com\/zh-mo\/products\/9780743203296","provider":"買書書 BuyBookBook","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
