This is not quite as valiant an effort as Leamer's first Kennedy book, The Kennedy Women. It was still enjoyable and interesting, but it's a bit disconcerting that Leamer reveals the truth about the Kennedys' behavior, but never analyzes it and draws a conclusion. His original thought is what really made "The Kennedy Women," and is lacking in his second book.
The book focuses mainly on Joseph Kennedy and his two eldest sons, and serves as a nice brief overview of the three and the events that shaped them.
A helluva read -- I definitely recommend it. It was eye-opening for me and I learned a great deal about these great men.

I cant wait to read this, been wanting this for a while.Now I have this on my nook :)
The limited scope of this book makes it excellent reading. the descriptions of the Bay of Pigs and the Cuban missile crisis are very succinct and clear. There's hardly any mention of the Kennedys' understanding of the civil rights movement., and Edward is given very short shrift. Still, a very good biography.
