Kennedys assassination  presidential historian Robert Dallek  whom The New York Times calls Kennedys leading biographer  delivers a riveting new portrait of this president and his inner circle of advisorstheir rivalries  personality clashes  and political battles. In Camelots Court  Dallek analyzes the brain trust whose contributions to the successes and failures of Kennedys administrationincluding the Bay of Pigs  civil rights  the Cuban Missile Crisis  and Vietnamwere indelible. Kennedy purposefully put together a dynamic team of advisors noted for their brilliance and acumen  including Attorney General Robert Kennedy  Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara  Secretary of State Dean Rusk  National Security Advisor McGeorge Bundy  and trusted aides Ted Sorensen and Arthur Schlesinger. Yet the very traits these men shared also created sharp divisions. Far from being unified  this was an uneasy band of rivals whose ambitions and clashing beliefs ignited fiery internal debates. Robert Dallek illuminates a president deeply determined to surround himself with the best and the brightest  who often found himself disappointed with their recommendations. The result  Camelots Court: Inside the Kennedy White House  is a striking portrait of a leader whose wise resistance to pressure and adherence to principle offers a cautionary tale for our own time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45960448180277,"sku":"ByrdShop_006206584X","price":25.38,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780062065841.jpg?v=1788287483","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/camelots-court-inside-the-kennedy-white-house-9780062065841","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
