AN ARAB TERRORIST ATTACK. DEMOCRACY UNDER SIEGE. Mario Puzo  envisioned it all in his eerily prescient 1991 novel, \u003ci\u003eThe Fourth K\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/b\u003ePresident 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                                    \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                                    \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMARIO PUZO \u003c\/b\u003ewas born in New York and, following military service in World War II,  attended New York’s New School for Social Research and Columbia University.
