    <body><![CDATA[This is one of the first &quot;tell all&quot; books looking at the insides of a presidential campaign.  This was a break through book in 1960.  The book, however, does tend to favor the Kennedy camp (not that I have a problem with that) but a must read for the political junkie/history buff.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[It was way long, but a pretty interesting read. Comparing it to today's political books makes it that much more striking; Teddy White was basically in JFK's pocket and described him as such. Still, it was well-written, if too long.]]></body>
