　　A PRESIDENTIAL DYNASTY. AN ARAB TERRORIST ATTACK. DEMOCRACY

UNDER SIEGE. Mario Puzo envisioned it all in his eerily prescient

1991 novel, The Fourth K.

President Francis Xavier Kennedy is elected to office, in large

part, thanks to the legacy of his forebears–good looks, privilege,

wealth–and is the very embodiment of youthful optimism. Too soon,

however, he is beaten down by the political process and, disabused

of his ideals, he becomes a leader totally unlike what he has been

before.

When his daughter becomes a pawn in a brutal terrorist plot,

Kennedy, who has obsessively kept alive the memory of his uncles’

assassinations, activates all his power to retaliate in a series of

violent measures. As the explosive events unfold, the world and

those closest to him look on with both awe and horror.
