“James Patterson applies his writerly skills to real-life history ... re-telling the political clan’s rise and fall and rise again (and fall again) with novelistic style.” —People
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.

This book is complete bull. This isn't a factual book about the Kennedy family. This is the kind of book a MAGA nut would read to find "evidence." If you want a factual book, try reading Fredrik Logevall's JFK and The Patriarch by David Nasaw. Both are well-rounded and extensively researched books based on historical evidence.
