This fascinating biography chronicles the life of the pioneering doctor who was both JFK?s secret back specialist and a world-renowned rock climber. Medical visionary and legendary adventurer Hans Kraus lived a uniquely eventful life. Kraus was taught English by James Joyce, escaped Nazi dominated Europe, and assisted President Kennedy with the chronic, debilitating back pain that was kept a closely guarded secret from the public. A legendary rock climber known for hair-raising ascents on two continents, Kraus lived a life filled with tragedy and triumph, intense passion, and a seemingly endless verve. One of the great unsung medical pioneers of the twentieth century, Kraus was a guest of honor at Eisenhower?s White House and was the subject of cover stories in major magazines throughout America, including Sports Illustrated. His pioneering work in muscles and fitness uncovered a shocking truth about a lack of fitness in American children, and his work curing back pain brought him into the Kennedy White House and inner circle of Camelot. Here now is the life of Hans Kraus, including the behind-the-scenes story of Kennedy?s crippling back problems, based on never-before-seen White House medical records and interviews with two Kennedy White House doctors.
