Good read

There have been hundreds of books on President John F. Kennedy and this book by Thurston Clarke is a genuine addition in how the man and politician was evolving in the last hundred days before his death to a possible, really interesting 2nd term in office if he was elected, which he surely would have been as his opponent was to be the Republican party's Barry Goldwater beaten by a huge landslide win instead by Lyndon B. Johnson in late 1964. I enjoyed Thurston Clarke's JFK book and in turn this had me get his book on Robert Kennedy's last campaign and is also a good read. He finds more insights and information into what was an amazing and dramatic decade in the United States - that of the 1960s. Never to be experienced in the same way again.
