The other day, when in the big city, I checked out a used-book store, and noticed a table full of books about the Kennedys, probably a marketing attempt to cash in on nostaligia about dead ted, although the books were priced at only 50 cents per.
Among them was The Kennedys: The Third Generation (Barbara Gibson, 1993, Thunder's Mouth Press). It's sort of dated, but as my knowledge of the Kennedy brats is up to only a 1971 edition of Time magazine, I thought the update would be helpful, and so purchased the book.
I thought it might be a love song to the Kennedys; after all, the author, a former agent of the FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation), was for some years private and personal secretary to the matriarch of the family, Rose Kennedy.
I was shocked excresenceless. I could not put the book down.
The author really tears into the Kennedys; if one needs a clue, dead ted emerges in the book as the best of them all, which says something.
Has anyone else ever read this book? Its illumination is blinding.
