by Patrick J. Sloyan - History, Nonfiction, Politics

Patrick J. Sloyan, a young wire-service reporter during the Kennedy administration, revisits the last year of JFK’s presidency to reveal a ruthless politician.

Using Kennedy’s secret recordings of crucial White House meetings and interviews with key inside players, Sloyan offers a revelatory look into a JFK that few will recognize.
