Counselor, A Life at the Edge of History, By Ted Sorsensen

Have just finished Counselor, A Life at the Edge of History, By Ted Sorsensen. Ted Sorsensen was Special Counselor to President John F. Kennedy. I have to admit I was wary of reading it, Mr Sorsensen is the last of the Kennedy Loyalists and he still loyal. I thought I should start to understand Liberals, they will be in power in D.C for the next four to eight years, so thought it might be easy to understand a Liberal through one of the best known Liberals and a good writer. Thus bought the above book. My wariness was miss placed, Mr Sorsensen has written a very honest book, but he still loyal. The book is frank about the Kennedy weakness of women, but what is important is the negatives and positives of the Kennedy Administration. One can disagree with Mr Sorsensen's view of events in the past but one does get to understand Liberals and the mind set. I have always been a JFK fan, of the real JFK faults and all, this book should be read after you read all the negative stuff about JFK and Camelot, its an excellent counter balance, you have to accept that Ted Sorsensen will always be the last Kennedy loyalist, but you get to understand him and JFK. Excellent Read.
