- Synopsis
- This biography of Edward "Ted" Kennedy provides a more balanced portrait of the man than previous volumes by exploring both his achievements as a congressional leader and the more troubling events in his life. Klein, former editor of Newsweek and author of several Kennedy family biographies, reveals some of the more personal and secretive chapters in Kennedy's life such as his battle to overcome drinking and womanizing and volatile family discussions concerning Mary Jo Kopechne, the woman who died in the infamous Chappaquiddick incident. General readers will also appreciate the focus on recent events in the senator's life such as his battle with brain cancer and Caroline Kennedy's interest and eventual dismissal of Hillary Clinton's vacant New York Senate seat.
