by Peter Janney - History, Nonfiction, Politics, True Crime

Peter Janney traces some of the most important events and influences in the life of Mary Pinchot Meyer, including how she supported her secret lover, the president of the United States, as he turned away from the Cold War toward the pursuit of world peace. As we approach the 50th anniversary of President Kennedy’s assassination --- and Mary Meyer’s --- MARY'S MOSAIC adds to our understanding of why both took place.
