434 pages, cloth, dust jacket frayed otherwise very good. From the publisher: Known by the White House press corps as the 'Irish Mafia,' Dave Powers and Ken O'Donnell were John F. Kennedy's devoted companions and confidantes for more than 15 years. They avoided the limelight so successfully that they were usually mistaken for Secret Service agents throughout his presidency. Because they had constant access to Kennedy's thoughts and moods, this book of reminiscences reaches the inside of the man as none other has before. ~ Through the eyes of these firsthand observers we witness insights into Kennedy the man - the tension and agony of the Cuban missile crisis, his love of Irish songs and Gaelic poetry, the machinations leading to the selection of Johnson as the vice-presidential candidate in 1960, the witty and truly personal replies he wrote to curious schoolchildren's questions, the Vienna meeting with Khrushchev.
