AnnotationThis collection of articles and essays from the annals of the Boston Globe documents the roller coaster career of Ted Kennedy, from Chappaquiddick to his battle with cancer. The young Kennedy is depicted as a drunken failure and a cheat, traits which got him banished from Harvard and divorced from his first wife. Ironically, the authors seem to depict the tragedy of Chappaquiddick as a positive turning point for Kennedy, relieving him of Presidential expectations and allowing him to forge his own path through the Senate. There can be little question that Kennedy has been one of the most powerful politicians in the nation over the last 25 years, known for his ability to cross party lines in order to enact his preferred policies and reforms. As Kennedy basks in the afterglow of Barack Obama's victory and the perceived revitalization of the Democratic party, it is important to remember the struggles and criticism that have marked much of his career. The complete biography of one of the most powerful men in American politics, and his personal redemption from the disappointing member of a grand dynasty to a sage in the Senate and the patriarch of a broken family If You Enjoy "Last Lion (Hardcover)", May We Also Recommend:Customer Reviews for "Last Lion (Hardcover)" by Peter Canellos (Author) and BO...There are no customer reviews yet.
