Offered in 0 more formatsFrom breathless hagiographies to scandal-mongering exposes, no family has generated more bestselling books than the Kennedys. None of them, however, has focused on the watershed period of World War II, when the course of the family and its individual members changed utterly. Now, in a narrative grounded in impeccable scholarship, Edward J. Renehan, Jr., provides a dramatic portrait of years marked by family tensions, heartbreaks, and heroics. It was during this time that tragedy began to haunt the family - Joe Jr.'s death, the untimely widowhood of Kathleen (a.k.a. "Kick"), Rosemary's lobotomy. But it was also the time in which John F. Kennedy rose above the strictures of the clan and became his own man.
Biographer and historian Renehan examines the lives of the Kennedys in the years leading up to and during World War II. The text provides insightful portraits of Joseph Sr., and three of the elder Kennedy children, Joe Jr., Jack, and Kathleen, in particular. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
