Description
The Kennedys may be the most photographed, written about, talked about, admired, hated and controversial family in American history. But the real story was not told until Collier and Horowitz spent years researching archives and interviewing family members and hundreds of people close to them. The Kennedys: An American Drama is a brilliantly comprehensive history that brings together all the complex strains of the story of the Kennedys' rise and fall. The authors have added new material showing the effect of the death of John F. Kennedy Jr., and the other family tragedies of the last few years, on the Kennedys and their mythic role in American life.
