JFK. RFK. ~ Peter Collier and David Horowitz ~ have spent years researching archives and interviewing both family members and hundreds of people close to the Kennedys. They have discovered hitherto unused and unknown sources and for the first time have penetrated the inner sanctum of the family and have been able to tell much of their recent history from the inside out. ~ The Kennedys is unique in its combination of intimate knowledge and a perspective free of obligation to family loyalties and myths; the result is this exhaustive and powerful story of four generations of Kennedys. For it is in The Kennedys that we read not only of the proud achievements of an ambitious tribe, but of the hidden lapses and failings as well. We see Joseph P. Kennedy triumphant as Ambassador to England, but we also read a dark tale of Mephistophelean bargains with organized crime, of shady Hollywood deals and of his frustrated assault on Brahmin respectability. We see Rose Kennedy as the efficient and lovely mother of nine children, but also as a woman who publicly remained oblivious to her husband's sexual escapades. We read of Joe, Jr., the handsome and witty star of the nine children, so envious of his younger brother Jack's PT~J09 heroism that he volunteered for a mission that had to fail; of Kick, the romantic and doomed daughter, whose flamboyance jeopardized her father's plans for the family; of Bobby, the priestly younger brother seeking an object for his loyalty; of the suppressed story of Rosemary; and especially of the young Jack revealed through his friendship with LeMoyne Billings. Along with wonderful rich and funny stories of merciless teasing, family competition and practical jokes, we also read how Bobby's vendetta against organized crime may have led to a national tragedy; how after Bobby's death Teddy failed to become the moral center of the family; how Ethel drove her oldest sons out of the house with her anger and how these same boys turned away with a vengeance from the mythic and heroic Kennedy identity and sought life instead in drug forays to Harlem, aided and abetted by JFK's old friend Lem Billings. And there is more ~ much more. Collier and Horowitz capture the strain of ambition; the dynastic ebb and flow of the Kennedy family; the invention of a mythic identity ~ developed over four generations ~ that led a very young David Kennedy, when once asked what it "meant" to be a Kennedy, to reply, "It means that we're exactly the same as everybody else, except better." Years later Chris Lawford would say, "If you think of it as one movement from Grandfather's early days ~ you realize that the Kennedy story is really about karma, about people who broke the rules and were ultimately broken by them.".
