Book Description
The subject of endless fascination, no family in modern America has been more blessed-or more cursed-than the Kennedy family. Edward Klein, already renowned for his eye-opening and revelatory Kennedy portraits All Too Human and Just Jackie, delves deep into the misfortunes of the Kennedy clan, developing the premise that a curse has plagued them for centuries. Starting with Patrick in Ireland in 1834, Klein traces the family's misfortunes to the modern era, discussing both little-known and notorious subjects. For example, he examines the political and social worlds of Joe Kennedy, the William Kennedy Smith scandal, zeroes in on John, Jr. and Carolyn Bessette, and in a compulsively readable way, offers up a fascinating view of America's most famous family.
