About this listen

From the New York Times bestselling Kennedy historian and author of Jackie: Public, Private, Secret comes the other side of the story--her husband's: JFK: Public, Private, Secret.

In this definitive portrait of John Fitzgerald Kennedy, J. Randy Taraborrelli delivers a deeply researched and authoritative biography. More than the story of a presidency, this is an intimate study of a man whose public triumphs were shaped--and at times overshadowed--by the complex realities of his private life, from his legendary family to his marriage to Jacqueline Kennedy.

Drawing from hundreds of interviews conducted over twenty-five years--as well as candid, first-hand oral histories from the John Fitzgerald Kennedy Presidential Library, rare internal reports from the Secret Service, detailed files from the National Archives, and intelligence documents from both the CIA and FBI. This is JFK as never before captured by history, a figure whose legacy continues to shape America and the world.

The JFK presented in Taraborrelli's biography is a complex and endlessly fascinating historical figure--despite, and perhaps even because of, his many flaws.

J. Randy Taraborrelli is the bestselling author of more than 20 biographies, including Jackie, Ethel, Joan: Women of Camelot and The Kennedys: After Camelot—both adapted for television —as well as Jackie, Janet Lee and Jackie: Public, Private, Secret. His books have become go-to sources for producers, journalists, and readers alike, known for delivering page-turning stories grounded in deep reporting and never-before-heard details.

Robert Petkoff has narrated over 220 audiobooks including many Star Trek audiobooks and Bob Woodward’s War. Alongside his narrating, he has acted in some TV classics like The Good Wife and Law & Order.
