Synopsis

Who are the Kennedys? Are they the brilliant, heroic, extraordinary people their admirers believe them to be? Or are they arrogant, competitive, selfabsorbed children of a willful and immensely rich patriarch, as their detractors claim? In fact, they are all of these things, and more.

The first and only book to fully penetrate the Kennedy inner sanctum and reveal the true, all too human saga behind Americas most famous family.
