As scholars Ernest May and Philip Zelikow wrote in an otherwise persuasive critical a.s.sessment of the book, ”Hersh has acc.u.mulated new evidence that Kennedy's womanizing became increasingly more abandoned and more reckless as he became older, more famous, and more powerful. Hersh has ama.s.sed convincingly detailed testimony to this effect from numerous confidantes, four Secret Service agents talking on the record, and many others, some of it b.u.t.tressed by contemporaneous FBI records.” Ernest R.
