JFK: RECKLESS YOUTH, by
Nigel Hamilton (Random House:
$30.(0).
Briton Nigel Hamilton's engross­
ing recital of John Fitzgerald
Kennedy's early life bring strongly
to mind the Euripidean observ tion
that "The gods vjsit the sins of the
fathers upon the childfen." Cert inly
the Camelot mystique that sur­
rounded the Kennedy clan was in
large me u're shaped by the influen­
ces fostered by the role models of
grandparents and parents. Yet many
of the negative traits attributed to the
sons nd daughters of Rose and
�Jo ph Kennedy. author Hamilton
stresses. resulted directly from the
emotion Ily unstable and dysfunc­
tional KeMedy household.
This volume is. in effect. a 'dual
biography, for so much of wh t IFK
became was shaped by the desires of
his father. Joe·Kennedy was a ruth-.
. Iess business competitor.
