Missing is the underhand ways in which he came to power (i.e. Daley and Chicago), his links to unsavoury people and his extra-martial affairs (to put it politely - Trump's got nothing on JFK).
However, it's a very good essay of the presidency of John Kennedy. The book was completed prior to the assassination in Dallas, but this was included with little comment in the last few pages. It stood too close to the events of the previous three years to grasp to importance and weight of what the world was going through at the time. It's also unable to reflect on the missteps that were probably in relation to Vietnam - it was JFK that pulled USA and many other countries into the war. ( )
