I’ve been marching through bios of the U.S. Presidents in chronological order and of the 40+ read so far, Profile of Power is definitely one of the best. What sets it apart is that Reeves puts you right next to Kennedy to see government “being made” day-in and day-out during his presidency. Much more realistic than the usual “Camelot” fairy tale, it gives a clear portrait of JFK as the man — and politician — he was. I’ll definitely include his Nixon and Reagan books on my reading list.
