I just finished "JFK's Last 100 Days" by Thurston Clarke. I can’t recommend this book more highly. It’s chock-full of details that shed new light on the magic JFK generated, while at the same time offering solid historical perspective on his decisions and decision-making process. More affirmation of the man’s almost surreal charisma: Despite having the second-shortest tenure of any postwar president, JFK is probably the most written-about, and still retains his hold on people’s imaginations.
