Book excerpt: The revelatory, poignant story of Rosemary Kennedy, the eldest and eventually secreted-away Kennedy daughter, and how her life transformed her family, its women especially, and an entire nation. "[Larson] succeeds in providing a well-rounded portrait of a woman who, until now, has never been viewed in full."—The Boston Globe “A biography that chronicles her life with fresh details . . . By making Rosemary the central character, [Larson] has produced a valuable account of a mental health tragedy and an influential family’s belated efforts to make amends.”—The New York Times Book Review Joe and Rose Kennedy’s strikingly beautiful daughter Rosemary was intellectually disabled, a secret fiercely guarded by her powerful and glamorous family. In Rosemary, Kate Clifford Larson uses newly uncovered sources to bring Rosemary Kennedy’s story to light. Young Rosemary comes alive as a sweet, lively girl adored by her siblings. But Larson also reveals the often desperate and duplicitous arrangements the Kennedys made to keep her away from home as she became increasingly difficult in her early twenties, culminating in Joe’s decision to have Rosemary lobotomized at age twenty-three and the family’s complicity in keeping the secret. Only years later did the Kennedy siblings begin to understand what had happened to Rosemary, which inspired them to direct government attention and resources to the plight of the developmentally and mentally disabled, transforming the lives of millions.

This book was released on 2013-07-15 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Barbara Perry finally captures Rose Kennedy's genuine contributions to her family's political dynasty. Mining newly released diaries and letters, Perry trains her eye on traits that other biographers have neglected. Rose's perfectionism, initially a response to the strictures imposed by gender, class, and religion, ultimately created a family image that resonated in the political arena and new twentieth-century media. An extroverted socialite at her husband's side in prewar London, she became an effective campaigner at home, reaching voters that Jack, Bobby, and Teddy could not. For the first time, we see a complete portrait of Rose that adds depth and dimension to her legend. A stoic, devout presence in public, Rose sought solace from crushing personal tragedies in compulsive shopping, travel, and self-medication. Rose Kennedy is an unequaled book about a remarkable woman who nurtured an image that masked her family's more inconvenient truths.

Book excerpt: INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER "[The] rare biography of a public figure that's not only beautifully written, but also shockingly revelatory." -- The Atlantic A vivid biography of former First Lady Barbara Bush, one of the most influential and under-appreciated women in American political history. Barbara Pierce Bush was one of the country's most popular and powerful figures, yet her full story has never been told. THE MATRIARCH tells the riveting tale of a woman who helped define two American presidencies and an entire political era. Written by USA TODAY's Washington Bureau chief Susan Page, this biography is informed by more than one hundred interviews with Bush friends and family members, hours of conversation with Mrs. Bush herself in the final six months of her life, and access to her diaries that spanned decades. THE MATRIARCH examines not only her public persona but also less well-known aspects of her remarkable life. As a girl in Rye, New York, Barbara Bush weathered criticism of her weight from her mother, barbs that left lifelong scars. As a young wife, she coped with the death of her three-year-old daughter from leukemia, a loss that changed her forever. In middle age, she grappled with depression so serious that she contemplated suicide. And as first the wife and then the mother of American presidents, she made history as the only woman to see -- and advise -- both her husband and son in the Oval Office. As with many women of her era, Barbara Bush was routinely underestimated, her contributions often neither recognized nor acknowledged. But she became an astute and trusted political campaign strategist and a beloved First Lady. She invested herself deeply in expanding literacy programs in America, played a critical role in the end of the Cold War, and led the way in demonstrating love and compassion to those with HIV/AIDS. With her cooperation, this book offers Barbara Bush's last words for history -- on the evolution of her party, on the role of women, on Donald Trump, and on her family's legacy. Barbara Bush's accomplishments, struggles, and contributions are many. Now, Susan Page explores them all in THE MATRIARCH, a groundbreaking book certain to cement Barbara Bush as one of the most unique and influential women in American history.

Download or read book Edward M Kennedy written by Barbara A. Perry and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019-01-18 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For Kennedy devotees, as well as readers unfamiliar with the "lion of the Senate," this book presents the compelling story of Edward Kennedy's unexpected rise to become one of the most consequential legislators in American history and a passionate defender of progressive values, achieving legislative compromises across the partisan divide. What distinguishes Edward Kennedy: An Oral History is the nuanced detail that emerges from the senator's never-before published, complete descriptions of his life and work, placed alongside the observations of his friends, family, and associates. The senator's twenty released interviews reveal, in his own voice, the stories of Kennedy triumph and tragedy from the Oval Office to the waters of Chappaquiddick. Spanning the presidencies of JFK to Barack Obama, Edward Kennedy was an iconic player in American political life, the youngest sibling of America's most powerful dynasty; he candidly addresses this role: his legislative accomplishments and failures, his unsuccessful run for the White House, his impact on the Supreme Court, his observations on Washington gridlock, and his personal faults. The interviews and introductions to them create an unsurpassed and illuminating volume. Gathered as part of the massive Edward Kennedy Oral History Project, conducted by the University of Virginia's Miller Center, the senator's interviews allow readers to see how oral history can evolve over a three-year period, drawing out additional details as the interviewee becomes increasingly comfortable with the process and the interviewer. Yet, given the Kennedys' well-known penchant for image creation, what the senator doesn't say or how he says what he chooses to include, is often more revealing than a simple declarative statement.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From New York Times bestselling author J. Randy Taraborrelli comes The Kennedy Heirs, his most revealing Kennedy book yet. A unique burden was inherited by the children of President John Fitzgerald Kennedy and his celebrated siblings, Senators Robert and Ted Kennedy. Raised in a world of enormous privilege against the backdrop of American history, this third generation of Kennedys often veered between towering accomplishment and devastating defeat. In his revelatory new book, acclaimed Kennedy historian J. Randy Taraborrelli draws back the curtain on the next generation of America’s most famous family. John Kennedy, Jr.’s life in the public eye is explored, following the Kennedy scion as he faced the challenges posed by marrying his great love, Carolyn Bessette. Riveting new details are shared about the couple’s tragic demise—and why Ethel Kennedy advised Carolyn not to take the trip that would ultimately end her life. John’s sister, Caroline Kennedy, had her own complicated relationships, including a marriage to Ed Schlossberg that surprised her mother, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, and an unexpected bond with her mother-in-law, Mae Schlossberg. Additional stories, many shared here for the first time, illuminate the rest of the Kennedy dynasty: Kara Kennedy, Ted’s daughter, and her valiant battle against lung cancer; how Ted’s wife, Vicki, introduced a new era of feminism to the Kennedy family; the lifelong struggles with addiction faced by Bobby Kennedy Jr. and Patrick Kennedy; the unexpected way pop star Taylor Swift helped Conor Kennedy heal after the death of his mother, Bobby’s wife Mary; and Congressman Joe Kennedy III’s rise to prominence. At the center of it all is the family’s indomitable matriarch, Ethel Kennedy—a formidable presence with her maddening eccentricities and inspiring courage. Based on hundreds of exclusive first-hand interviews and cultivated over twenty years of research—including numerous Oral Histories from the JFK Library and the Edward M. Kennedy Institute—The Kennedy Heirs is an epic drama of ambition, scandal, pride and power.

Download or read book Eunice written by Eileen McNamara and published by Simon & Schuster. This book was released on 2019-04-23 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this “revelation” of a biography (USA TODAY), a Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist examines the life and times of Eunice Kennedy Shriver, arguing she left behind the Kennedy family’s most profound political legacy. While Joe Kennedy was grooming his sons for the White House and the Senate, his Stanford-educated daughter, Eunice, was hijacking her father’s fortune and her brothers’ political power to engineer one of the great civil rights movements of our time on behalf of millions of children and adults with intellectual disabilities. Her compassion was born of rage: at the medical establishment that had no answers for her sister Rosemary, at her revered but dismissive father, whose vision for his family did not extend beyond his sons, and at a government that failed to deliver on America’s promise of equality. Now, in this “fascinating” (the Today show), “nuanced” (The Boston Globe) biography, “ace reporter and artful storyteller” (Pulitzer Prize–winning author Megan Marshall) Eileen McNamara finally brings Eunice Kennedy Shriver out from her brothers’ shadow. Granted access to never-before-seen private papers, including the scrapbooks Eunice kept as a schoolgirl in prewar London, McNamara paints an extraordinary portrait of a woman both ahead of her time and out of step with it: the visionary founder of Special Olympics, a devout Catholic in a secular age, and an officious, cigar-smoking, indefatigable woman whose impact on American society was longer lasting than that of any of the Kennedy men.

And when war breaks like a tidal wave across her world, Billy is ripped from her arms as the Kennedys are forced to return to the States.

Book excerpt: In this pioneering new work, celebrated historian David Nasaw examines the life of Joseph P. Kennedy, the founder of the twentieth century's most famous political dynasty. Drawing on never-before-published materials from archives on three continents and interviews with Kennedy family members and friends, Nasaw tells the story of a man who participated in the major events of his times: the booms and busts, the Depression and the New Deal, two world wars and the Cold War, and the birth of the New Frontier. In studying Kennedy's life, we relive the history of the American century. "Riveting . . . The Patriarch is a book hard to put down . . . As his son indelibly put it some months before his father was struck down: 'Ask not what your country can do for you - ask what you can do for your county.' One wonders what was going through the mind of the patriarch, sitting a few feet away listening to that soaring sentiment as a fourth-generation Kennedy became president of the United States. After coming to know him over the course of this brilliant, compelling book, the reader might suspect that he was thinking he had done more than enough for his country. But the gods would demand even more." - New York Times Book Review

Download or read book JFK written by Fredrik Logevall and published by Random House. This book was released on 2020-09-08 with total page 817 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK OF THE YEAR • A Pulitzer Prize–winning historian takes us as close as we have ever been to the real John F. Kennedy in this revelatory biography of the iconic, yet still elusive, thirty-fifth president. “An utterly incandescent study of one of the most consequential figures of the twentieth century.”—Jill Lepore, author of These Truths: A History of the United States WINNER OF THE ELIZABETH LONGFORD PRIZE • NAMED BIOGRAPHY OF THE YEAR BY The Times (London) ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: The Sunday Times (London), New Statesman, The Daily Telegraph, Kirkus Reviews By the time of his assassination in 1963, John F. Kennedy stood at the helm of the greatest power the world had ever seen, a booming American nation that he had steered through some of the most perilous diplomatic standoffs of the Cold War. Born in 1917 to a striving Irish American family that had become among Boston’s wealthiest, Kennedy knew political ambition from an early age, and his meteoric rise to become the youngest elected president cemented his status as one of the most mythologized figures in American history. And while hagiographic portrayals of his dazzling charisma, reports of his extramarital affairs, and disagreements over his political legacy have come and gone in the decades since his untimely death, these accounts all fail to capture the full person. Beckoned by this gap in our historical knowledge, Fredrik Logevall has spent much of the last decade searching for the “real” JFK. The result of this prodigious effort is a sweeping two-volume biography that properly contextualizes Kennedy amidst the roiling American Century. This volume spans the first thirty-nine years of JFK’s life—from birth through his decision to run for president—to reveal his early relationships, his formative experiences during World War II, his ideas, his writings, his political aspirations. In examining these pre–White House years, Logevall shows us a more serious, independently minded Kennedy than we’ve previously known, whose distinct international sensibility would prepare him to enter national politics at a critical moment in modern U.S. history. Along the way, Logevall tells the parallel story of America’s midcentury rise. As Kennedy comes of age, we see the charged debate between isolationists and interventionists in the years before Pearl Harbor; the tumult of the Second World War, through which the United States emerged as a global colossus; the outbreak and spread of the Cold War; the domestic politics of anti-Communism and the attendant scourge of McCarthyism; the growth of television’s influence on politics; and more. JFK: Coming of Age in the American Century, 1917–1956 is a sweeping history of the United States in the middle decades of the twentieth century, as well as the clearest portrait we have of this enigmatic American icon.

Download or read book A Representative Supreme Court written by Barbara Perry and published by Praeger. This book was released on 1991-08-30 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Barbara Perry's A representative Supreme Court? focuses on the appointment of 15 of the 105 Justices (8 Catholics, 5 Jews, one black and one woman) to serve on the Supreme Court between 1789 and 1990: Roger Taney, Edward White, Joseph McKenna, Pierce Butler, Louis Brandeis, Benjamin Cardozo, Felix Frankfurter, Frank Murphy, William Brennan, Arthur Goldberg, Abe Fortas, Thurgood Marshall, Sandra Day O'Connor, Antonin Scalia, and Anthony Kennedy. After an opening chapter laying out the conceptual framework that underlies Perry's investigation of the representative nature of the Supreme Court, the book presents a detailed examination of the circumstances surrounding the nomination and confirmation of each justice. Perry's analysis of the historical record shows that race and gender were important considerations in the appointments of Marshall and O'Connor. The evidence on religion as a factor in the appointment process is mixed. For some nominees their religion played no consequential role in the deliberations of the president who chose them. For others, religion was an important if not the primary reason for their selection to the high court. Often unrecognized, Perry identifies concern with these representational criteria of religion, race, and gender as a distinctively 20th century phenomenon. While Perry's suggestion that representation narrowly defined is relevant to court nominations, her more persuasive argument deals with the relevance of court nominations to presidential politics. She draws a link between the political coming of age of Catholics, Jews, blacks and women and the degree to which presidents have considered these representational characteristics of potential nominees. Representation is seen as a political reward. In some cases, the reward is paid for past support. In other situations, the reward is offered in anticipation of or to secure future support. Having answered the question of whether representative factors such as religion, race and gender played a role in the selection of Supreme Court Justices, Perry ventures further to address the issue of whether such factors SHOULD play a role. In confronting this normative question she finds herself skating on thin ice. The book turns on a specific definition of representation. Perry's definition warrants discussion for it both refines and limits her thesis. Following Pitkin and Mosher, Perry concentrates on "descriptive" or "passive" representation which is "concerned with who the representative is or what he or she is like rather than what he or she does" (10). Indeed Perry argues forcefully in Chapter 6 that the court should be representative in this sense. But what is the value of descriptive representation? Descriptive representation may assist the court in establishing legitimacy of its decisions. Yet was it important to have a black representative on the court to get blacks to accept decision Brown v. Board of Education? Did having a Catholic member of the court make Roe v. Wade more acceptable to Catholics? Will having three Catholics on the court help legitimate the overturning of Roe v. Wade? Did having a man pen the Roe decision make it more palatable to men and will having a woman vote to overturn Roe make women more willing to accept such a decision? What other possible effects of minority group representation exist? Perhaps these individuals are role models for current or future generations. Consider the words of Whitney M. Young, Jr. on the appointment of Thurgood Marshall to the Supreme Court: Page 127 follows: This is an event of tremendous significance for Negro citizens. It is an example of the heights which are open to kids in the ghetto....His appointment is proof that, whatever the obstacles, Negroes can fight their way to the top. (101) Yet no evidence is presented to suggest that Black Americans have found Thurgood Marshall to be a role model. Similarly, there is no evidence that Catholic, Jewish, or female Americans have drawn on the models presented by the likes of William Brennan, Abe Fortas and Sandra Day O'Connor. Combined with the assertion that descriptive representation has not led to substantive representation, it is hard to see the point of an emphasis of descriptive representation on the High Court at all. In many ways, the principal findings here (despite the author's claims) are not about descriptive representation but about the extent of interest representation on the Supreme Court. For those who worry about the policy agendas of Supreme Court justices, Perry's work implies that such worries are overblown -- at least with respect to minorities advancing positions that might be attributed to the groups they represent. Unfortunately, Perry's work predates the Thomas nomination of 1992. It would add to the single case study of Thurgood Marshall in assessing the notion of a Black seat on the Court. Writing prior to the Thomas nomination, Perry anticipates his promotion: Clarence Thomas, a conservative black member of the U.S. Court of Appeals..., reportedly made the short list of four candidates when Bush was considering a replacement for Justice Brennan... (106) Perry argues that the best alternative for Bush would be "to nominate a well-qualified, moderately conservative black, whose race might blunt ideological attacks as Justice O'Connor's gender and Justice Scalia's ethnic heritage arguably did." (106) Bush may well have attempted to follow such advice in nominating Thomas to succeed Marshall. The strategy was barely successful. There are evidentiary concerns. In attempting to demonstrate the importance of these representational factors, Perry ignores systematic comparisons between the eventual nominee and the "competition", those other individuals who were considered by the president and rejected in favor of the nominee. How can readers assess if race, religion or gender played a decisive role, one that put a particular nominee "over the top" in Perry's words, if we do not know what the competition looked like? One frustrating aspect of the book is its limited focus on the Supreme Court. This is simply a bias of the reviewer. Assessment of the descriptive representation of the Supreme Court is but a small step in the examination of representation in American courts. Most descriptive representation in our nation's courts exists at lower levels of the federal courts and on the state benches. Perry concludes by reminding the reader that arguments pitting merit versus representation as criteria for Supreme Court appointments are both simplistic and often inaccurate. It is possible for a candidate to satisfy both concerns. Presidents rarely look for representative candidates that lack merit although they may often consider meritorious candidates without taking representation of group interests into account (and certainly some presidents have appeared to offer candidates satisfying neither criteria). Neither ideology nor representation necessarily detract from merit. A candidate, particularly a successful one, is likely to satisfy a variety of criteria. Ideological compatibility, merit, AND representational qualifications combine to make a nominee that will be successful. Similarly, I would not overlook the merits of this work despite the weaknesses noted. The systematic historical Page 128 follows: presentation of nomination politics will be welcome. It is a step toward further study of the role of minorities in the American courts.
