I felt sure I had read all the news and gossip surrounding this well known family. But being a Kennedy follower since JFK first appeared on the horizon, I decided to read yet one more story. It begins generations ago, where the beginnings of greed and power first sprouted its ugly head. Through the years the fight for power, being competitive with everyone including your own kin, along with disregard and total disrespect for anybody's feelings except theirs, left me breathless.
They say children suffer the sins of their fathers. I feel it is so with these people.
It may not be a curse but rather coincidence, but it made me wonder. I'm sure it will give you yet another insight into this large and complicated family.
Great book. Does not disappoint.

Although it manages to uncover every sexual pecadillo of President Kennedy and other Kennedy men, it also shows how hard it was for the Irish to be accepted into American society. And they spoke English!

An investigation of one of the great mysteries of our time - the Kennedy Curse. The stories in this book illustrate how the Kennedy Curse began in the common Irish immigrant experience of poverty and humiliation and developed into an obsessive lust for power and dominance over others at the expense of all ethical behavior.
