By Victor Lasky. “A Critical Portrait” of John Kennedy Sr., his rise to power, his father’s influence, and other relationships and machinations, from an experienced author in the field of the Kennedy family.
This hardcover graduate of the Rapid City SD library system has a dust jacket that looks, frankly, chewed up — see pics — but inside, aside from the stamps and card sleeves, and a note on who donated the tome to the library, it’s clean, sits straight, minimal toning. A fine reading or research copy if you can live with a frumpy jacket.
