The Dark Side of Camelot - Seymour M. Hersh

If you wonder why I despise politics in all forms, look no further than the contents of this book. Basically a tell-all account of the Kennedy presidency (the "Camelot" of the title refers to the Kennedy presidency's nickname, not the Arthurian legend), this book discusses the corruption, lying, and greed of the key players. Of course, as a cynic who hates politics, I tend to believe ALL politicians could have such a book written about them at any time... Exasperating.
