THE HOUSE OF KENNEDY

"When considering the subject of my next nonfiction book, I wanted to tell a family story. For decades and across generations, one American family has had a powerful pull all our lives. Their family name is synonymous with wealth, power - and tragedy. THE HOUSE OF KENNEDY is their story - and ours. Those who dwell in the House of Kennedy work hard, live hard, and win at all costs. But just how much has it cost them? In these pages, you'll hear echoes of the voices who lived, and continue to live, this uniquely American story that continues to capture the headlines, as well as our cultural consciousness." -- James Patterson

The Kennedys have always been a family of charismatic adventurers, raised to take risks and excel, living by the dual family mottos: "To whom much is given, much is expected" and "Win at all costs." And they do--but at a price.

Across decades and generations, the Kennedys have occupied a unique place in the American imagination: charmed, cursed, at once familiar and unknowable. The House of Kennedy is a revealing, fascinating account of America's most storied family, as told by America's most trusted storyteller.
