<p>Drawing on new primary sources this biography is the first to detail the influence of British history literature and culture--in particular the ideas of Winston Churchill--on America's thirty-fifth president.

In this intimate portrait of a leader torn between politics and principle we finally come to know the man Kennedy wanted to be and to understand his long private struggle to become that man.</p>
