As the new world triumphed over the old, and youthful vigour replaced privilege and prejudice, Jack Kennedy was the hero who led the way. Yet he was a hero with a tragic flaw - a compulsion to promiscuity. The lust for power was inexplicably intertwined with his lust for women. The fight for liberty which was his central political principle, spilled over in his personal life. This biography takes the reader inside Kennedy's mind. He shows how the young Jack's psyche became warped by the unfortunate combination of a priggish, snobbish mother and a bullying, womanizing father, and an early brush with death. Nigel Hamilton is the author of "Royal Greenwich" and "The Brothers Mann".
