A Hero Is Someone We Can Admire

John F. Kennedy Brought Style And Charisma To The White House And A First Family That Captivated The Country: A Handsome, Witty President, An Elegant First Lady, And Two Adorable Young Children.

I Have Believed In The Biographies I Have Written. I Truly Can Tell You That They Have Influenced Our Society Politically, Culturally, Socially.

It Would Be Morally Reprehensible Not To Tell The Truth... Everything I Have Written Has Stood The Test Of Time.

Kennedy Was Haunted By The Bay Of Pigs Invasion But Carried The Country Through The Cuban Missile Crisis. He Later Increased The Number Of U.s. Military Advisers To South Vietnam To More Than 16,000.

I Only Choose To Write About People Who Are Alive, Are Extremely Powerful And As Such Have Influenced Our Lives. I Try To Go Behind Their Constructed Myths To Find The Humanity Of The Person. It Takes Me About Four Years On Every Book And Requires Hundreds Of Interviews So I Choose People Whose Lives I Respect And Achievements Are Worth Recording.
