A revelatory, minute-by-minute account of JFK’s final days that asks what might have been.
Fifty years after his assassination, President John F. Kennedy’s legend endures. Noted author and historian Thurston Clarke reexamines the last months of the president’s life to show a man in the midst of great change, both in his family and in the key issues of his day: The Cold War, Civil Rights, and Vietnam, finally on the cusp of making good on his extraordinary promise. JFK’s Last Hundred Days presents a gripping account that weaves together Kennedy’s public and private lives, explains why the grief following his assassination has endured so long, and solves the most tantalizing Kennedy mystery of them all - not who killed him but who he was when he was killed and where he would have led us.

An Apple iBooks Best Book of August
"[A] vivid portrait of Kennedy as an immensely complex human being: by turns detached and charismatic, a hard-nosed pol and a closet romantic, cautious in his decision making but reckless in his womanizing." (Michicko Kakutani, New York Times)
“JFK's Last Hundred Days is a superb piece of writing - richly detailed and, considering that the end is all too well known, surprisingly enthralling." (The Wall Street Journal)
“Clarke does an interesting and in many ways persuasive job of what he proposes at the beginning: ‘to view John F. Kennedy through every prism and search through all his compartments during the crucial last hundred days of his life - days that saw him finally beginning to realize his potential as a man and a president - in order to solve the most tantalizing mystery of all: not who killed him, but who he was when he was killed, and where he would have led us'." (Washington Post)
