JFK's Last Hundred Days

I wanted to like this book more than I ended up liking it. I also wanted to learn more from it than I was able. Unfortunately, the arbitrary nature of the author's time frame (the last 100 days before Kennedy's death) creates an abrupt entrance into the world and politics of the young Kennedy administration. 
That being said, the author attempts to compensate for the rough entrance by providing copious amounts of back story for every event thus thoroughly muddying the timeline. It's a decent attempt but I would rather read a biography of his entire life or even of his short administration (and the campaign).
I wouldn't recommend this book. There are likely better ones on the market to choose from.
