The Kennedy Imprisonment

Description for THE KENNEDY IMPRISONMENT: A MEDITATION ON POWER by Garry Wills:

From one of America's foremost historians, THE KENNEDY IMPRISONMENT is the definitive historical & psychological analysis of the Kennedy clan. Pulitzer Prize winner, Garry Wills reveals a family that enjoyed public adulation but provided fluctuating leadership, that experienced both unparalleled fame & odd failures, & whose basic values ensnared its men in their own myths of success & masculinity. In the end, Wills reveals that the the Kennedys' crippling conception of power touched every part of their public & private lives, including their relationships with women & world leaders. Sometimes gossipy, sometimes philosophical, THE KENNEDY IMPRISONMENT is a book that is as true, insightful & relevant as ever.
