An excellent first in a series of great history books

This is a good starter to the authors' series of oral history books on Kennedy, Nixon, and Reagan. I hope to see one on GW Bush and Clinton 20 years from now when people can speak more candidly. Anyway--I think the other two books are far better, simply because JFK wasn't a very interesting person. But there is some great historical insight here. The Reagan and Nixon books give you way more detail on how the presidency works, and how each respective president ran his White House. Plus, the scandals were juicier and they had more time to leave their mark.
