From ?a master of precision? (The Observer, London) comes an explosive, provocative novel about John F. Kennedy?s years in the White house: his political daring, his brave dedication to human rights, his devotion to his family?and his uncontrollable and unrelenting appetite for sexual adventure.

? Taut, magnificent prose: Mercurio?s premise?to chronicle Kennedy?s exploits, political and sexual, through the President?s own anguished but self-centered perspective?is bold to the point of hubris, but he succeeds in spades. The writing is elegant, spare, and wry; the narrative is exquisitely paced. The book?s ending is emotionally shattering? empathetic, redemptive, and shocking.

? Startlingly revisionist portrait of JFK: We see Kennedy at his best, as a visionary statesman, a former soldier turned moral pacifist, a loving parent and devoted husband. And we see him at his worst, as a compulsive philanderer whose countless conquests?of movie stars, socialites, secretaries, and interns?ruined hundreds of lives.

? Amazing cast of characters: They are all here: Marilyn Monroe, Frank Sinatra, Peter Lawford, Angie Dickinson, Judith Campbell, LBJ, Fiddle and Faddle, Eisenhower, and perhaps most memorably, Jacqueline Kennedy.
