Synopsis
For more than a decade, The Kennedy Imprisonment has stood as the definitive historical and psychological analysis of the Kennedy clan and its crippling conception of power. Written in 1981 on the heels of Edward M. Kennedy's embarrassing 1980 presidential candidacy, this book by Pulitzer Prize winner Garry Wills contends that Edward's failure was not a reversal of the Kennedys' bright history, but its ironic fulfillment. In it Wills reveals a family who enjoyed public adulation but provided pale leadership; who experienced both stunning fame and tragic failure; whose core values ensnared its men - particularly JFK - in their own myths of success, toughness, and masculinity. How the Kennedys' sense of power played out in their private and public lives - in their relationships with women and world leaders - provides the unifying principle of this fascinating study.
Now available with a new introduction by the author, this insightful and prescient analysis of the venerable yet vulnerable Kennedy family remains as relevant and accurate of ever.
