Taraborrelli, J. Randy

Similar to Taraborrelli’s other books, this is a gossipy read for those who enjoy biography.

Kennedy followers will be intrigued by this absorbing narrative of the dynasty's continuing hold on American life.

Engrossing for general readers. Historians may challenge some of the anecdotes and interpretations presented.

Taraborrelli shows what makes the Kennedy legacy so enduring. His book, not aimed at academics, will appeal both to those long fascinated with the Kennedys and those new to following them, as well as readers more generally interested in American political and social history over these years.
