The Kennedy heirs : John, Caroline, and the new generation ; a legacy of triumph and tragedy

Taraborrelli, J. Randy (author.).

Summary: The children of President John Fitzgerald Kennedy and his siblings Senators Robert and Ted Kennedy often veered between towering accomplishment and devastating defeat. Taraborrelli draws back the curtain on the next generation of America's most famous family. He covers Caroline and John Kennedy, Jr.'s lives in the public eye. Ted's daughter Kara and her valiant battle against lung cancer. The lifelong struggles with addiction faced by Bobby Jr. and Patrick. Congressman Joe Kennedy III's rise to prominence. At the center of it all is the family's matriarch, Ethel Kennedy-- a formidable presence with her maddening eccentricities and inspiring courage. -- adapted from jacket
