Bob Dallek is an award-winning historian who specializes in the American presidency and foreign affairs.
His most recent works include the new biography “Harry S. Truman,” “Lyndon B. Johnson: Portrait of a President” and “An Unfinished Life: John F. Kennedy, 1917-1963.”
Professor Robert Dallek, historian is able to explore JFK’s health, politics and personal recklessness. He can go a step further with information that reveals for the first time the full extent of the medical cover-up by the Kennedy family.
“Robert Dallek is one of the great presidential historians of our age,” said Gleaves Whitney, director of the Hauenstein Center for Presidential Studies. “His book, An Unfinished Life: John F. Kennedy, is provocative and changes the kinds of questions we ask about presidents.
Are presidents and presidential candidates obligated to tell the public factors in his or her life that would keep them from being president?”
He will use his discoveries about Kennedy to illustrate the “glorious burden” of the presidency.
