Description

Explains why the Kennedy’s have been subjected to such a mind-boggling chain of calamities. Explores the underlying pattern that governs the “Kennedy Curse.” Offers penetrating portraits of the Irish immigrant Patrick Kennedy; Rose Kennedy’s father; the dynasty’s founding father, Joe Kennedy, & his ill-fated daughter Kathleen; Pres. Kennedy; accused rapist William Kennedy Smith; & the star-crossed lovers, JFK Jr. & Carolyn Bessette. Each of the 7 profiles demonstrates the basic premise of this book: the “Kennedy Curse” is the result of the destructive collision between the Kennedys’ fantasy of omnipotence -- a desire to get away with things that others cannot -- & the cold, hard realities of life. Black & white photos.
