Description
The Kennedys: America's Emerald Kings A Five-Generation History of the Ultimate Irish-Catholic Family by Thomas Maier. This meticulously researched biography explores the complex and often contradictory story of the Kennedy family, tracing their history from Patrick Kennedy's arrival in Boston in 1848 to the present day. The author delves into the deeper currents that shaped their values and experiences as Irish Catholics in America, revealing how their immigrant background influenced their politics and public lives. Through extensive new research, exclusive interviews, and his own perspective as an Irish-American, Maier sheds light on the defining role of the immigrant experience within one of America's most famous political dynasties. The result is a compelling narrative that illuminates the impact of personal family history on national events and politics.
