Ted Schwarz was a prolific writer who has authored and coauthored more than 100 books on a wide range of subjects that include, among others: photography, biography, coin collecting, ethics in the media, gun safety, and writing. He is best known as the patriarch of America's most loved, hated, and talked-about family. Long before the Kennedy name became synonymous with wealth, political idealism, and agonizing tragedy, however, Joe Kennedy was on the move. This unflinching portrait of the man who sired three major twentieth-century political figures introduces copious new information about Joseph Kennedy's questionable financial practices, his Hollywood exploits, his tenure as ambassador to Great Britain, and his relationship with organized crime. Drawing on previously untapped sources, author Ted Schwarz provides a rare peek into Joseph Kennedy's secret activities and public accomplishments, including: Baseball scams that Kennedy concocted, his business dealings with Al Capone, and Kennedy's very public affair with actress Gloria Swanson Kennedy transformed Hollywood studios into product manufacturers His performance as ambassador to Great Britain is covered and much, much more.
