Staff Pick: American Adulterer

American Adulterer
By: Jed Mercurio


John F. Kennedy's well-known insatiable and sometimes comical philandering is juxtaposed against his often cruel relationship with Jacqueline, his brilliance as a statesman (excerpts from his actual speeches are included) and devotion as a father, offering a unique portrait of a powerful yet stricken and conflicted man. The villains are the methamphetamine-prescribing doctors and the bloodthirsty American generals pushing the world to the brink of Armageddon. Kennedy has figured prominently in hundreds of books, but Mercurio's take on the subject is fresh, bold and provocative.
