The Kennedy obsession
the American myth of JFK
by John Hellmann
Not the history of a man's life but the biography of his idea, The Kennedy Obsession traces the creation of Kennedy's image as an inspired - and inspiring - fiction.
The Kennedy Obsession reveals the painstaking transformation of private life into public persona, of a man into perhaps the major American myth of our time. The product of a distinctly American culture and the producer of an idealized vision for the future, Kennedy led the way into a new frontier, embodying a legend that both mirrored and shaped the collective passage of Americans through this tumultuous century.
