Description

Reveals how their ethnicity, religion, & cultural background molded the Kennedy family to the core -- both bolstering their stunning successes & coloring their spectacular tragedies. Shows how their Irish Catholic immigrant heritage was central to the Kennedy experience. Delves into the family saga’s deeper personal & emotional currents. We see family patriarch Joe Kennedy not just as a brilliant American businessman & powermonger, but as a fierce Irish chieftain who suffers loss after tragic loss. Shows the Kennedy’s close relationship with the Vatican, the role of American cardinals in the 1960 presidential election, & the family’s deep roots in Ireland’s struggle for freedom. Photos.
