The Last Brother The Rise and Fall of Teddy Kennedy - Audio Cassette - Abridged Author:Joe McGinniss, Cotter Smith (Narrator) The long, downward slide of the last Kennedy brother. Joe McGinniss offers an astonishing look behind the glittering facade of America's First Family--its tragedies, scandals and unspoken secrets, and the terrible toll they took on the troubled heir to the Kennedy legacy. — When Teddy Kennedy buried the third brother of his three older brothe... more »rs, two of them victims of an assassin's bullet, he inherited the hopes of a stunned nation in search of a new hero. But as this intimate and surprisingly moving portrait reveals, the youngest Kennedy brother was an ill prepared and unwilling candidate for the public limelight. Forever the "fat, awkward little boy" who was ignored by his parents, he never escaped his brothers' giant shadow, and was doomed to stand alone in the ruins of the shattered Kennedy myth.
By turns startling and moving, The Last Brother brings to life the childhood, brief triumph, and extended decline of the man whom history left behind--and the family that history won't forget.
