ROBERT DALLEK
RENOWNED PRESIDENTIAL HISTORIAN
Robert Dallek is an acclaimed historian of the American presidency and authority on leadership and crises.
In his best-selling book, An Unfinished Life, Dallek tells the dramatic story of the troubled life and times of President John. F. Kennedy. In what is sure to be the definitive biography, Dallek brilliantly balances JFK’s public and private weaknesses with his many strengths, creating a vivid portrait of a bold, brave, human Kennedy, once again a hero.
Dallek stands in the front ranks of contemporary historians, having produced a body of work that explores critical issues rich in relevance to our current domestic and international crises. The recurring theme in Dallek’s history could not be more timely: the nature of leadership in a world beset by dire problems of the utmost importance.
Dallek is author of six previous books, including a two volume biography of Lyndon Johnson, Flawed Giant and Lone Star Rising, Franklin D. Roosevelt and American Foreign Policy, which won the prestigious Bancroft Prize and The American Style of Foreign Policy. A professor of history at Boston University, he is a frequent commentator on radio and television concerning the presidency and current events.
