HERSH, SEYMOUR The Dark Side of Camelot
Boston Little Brown & Co. , 1997 0316359556 / 9780316359559 First Edition Hard Cover Very Good in Very Good dust jacket
498 pages, 8 plates, cloth, dj, very good. 1st edition. From the Publisher: Investigative journalist Seymour M. Hersh shows us a John F. Kennedy we have never seen before, a man insulated from the normal consequences of behavior long before he entered the White House. His father, Joe, set the pattern with an arrogance and cunning that have never been fully appreciated: Kennedys could do exactly what they wanted, and could evade any charge brought against them. Kennedys wrote their own moral code. And Kennedys trusted only Kennedys. Jack appointed his brother Bobby keeper of the secrets-the family debt to organized crime, the real state of Jack's health, the sources of his election victories, the plots to murder foreign leaders, and the president's intentions in Vietnam. The brothers prided themselves on another trait inherited from their father-a voracious appetite for women-and indulged it with a daily abandon deeply disturbing to the Secret Service agents who witnessed it. These men speak for the first time about their amazement at what they saw and the powerlessness they felt to protect the leader of their country.

HERSH, SEYMOUR M. The price of power. Kissinger in the Nixon White House.
New York Summit Books, 1983 Hard Cover
698 pages, cloth, dj, very good. From the dj, 'Seymour Hersh's long-awaited book is a magnificent achievement - a portrait not only of an era that haunts us still, but also of a relationship between President and adviser unique in our time. It begins in 1968 with the revelation of how Kissinger earned the post of National Security Adviser and ends in 1973 with the tragic tale of how Kissinger's Vietnam negotiations were betrayed by Nixon for his own political ends. The years between these milestones were filled with a remarkable series of diplomatic triumphs. Or so it seemed to most of us at the time. In these pages Mr. Hersh gives us a totally fresh account of the crises that were hidden from us then. He tells us how Nixon's desire for maximum television coverage altered the Peking summit; how Kissinger's negotiating mistakes undermined the arms limitation talks; how the wiretapping of Kissinger's aides became the ultimate loyalty test; how America's atomic security was jeopardized by the secret bombing of Cambodia; how Kissinger ignored the signal that might have led to an Egyptian - Israeli peace; how Kissinger's 'tilt' toward Pakistan played directly into Chinese hands. These events, and dozens more, are revealed and explained for the first time.'
