El 22 de noviembre de 1963, en la ciudad de Dallas, Lee Harvey Oswald disparó contra John Fitzgerald Kennedy, presidente de Estados Unidos, provocáncole la muerte y convirtiéndole en uno de los personajes más mitificados de la historia de Estados Unidos. Dejando de lado las oscuras circunstancias que envolvieron su asesinato, la biografía de Kennedy continúa siendo hoy un tema apasionante.
An Unfinished Life is the first major, single-volume life of John F. Kennedy to be written by a historian in nearly four decades. Drawing upon previously unavailable material and never-before-opened archives to tell Kennedy?s story. We learn for the first time just how sick Kennedy was, what medications he took and concealed from all but a few, and how severely his medical condition affected his actions as President. We learn for the first time the real story of how Bobby was selected as Attorney General. Dallek reveals exactly what Jack?s father did to help his election to the presidency, and he follows previously unknown evidence to show what path JFK would have taken in the Vietnam entanglement had he survived.
Dallek lifts JFK out of the gossips and back onto the world stage, showing that while he was the son of privilege, he faced great obstacles and fought on with remarkable courage. Never shying away from Kennedy's weaknesses, Dallek also brilliantly explores his strengths. The result is a portrait of a bold, brave, human Kennedy, once again a hero
