Yes, Schlesinger was definetely in the Kennedy corner, but so was I,
so I can't help being totally enthralled by this book.

And neither can I help feeling sad because it took just one creep to change the course of history- for the worst!

A not unexpectedly sycophantic account from one of the Kennedys' most enduring apologists; nonetheless, a very worthwhile read and an insight from inside the camp. For all their flaws they were agents for positive change in many areas.
