The Kennedy Legacy de Vincent Bzdek

The Kennedy Legacy

Autor Vincent Bzdek
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 17 aug 2010

The closing of Ted Kennedy's chapter in America's political and cultural life means that, for the first time perhaps, the real measure of the Kennedy legacy can finally be taken. John, Robert, and Ted Kennedy's individual stories can now be seen as essentially one, with each brother striving to fulfill the interrupted promise of the brother before. How did the brothers pass the family torch to each other? And who carries the torch forward now? Vincent Bzdek compellingly answers these questions and much, much more.

Praise for The Kennedy Legacy: "Washington Post news editor and features writer Bzdek. . .delineates [the story] succinctly and compellingly. . . Bzdek does a fine job." - Kirkus "Vincent Bzdek is a superb writer and terrific researcher. He's gotten to the heart of what made the Kennedy brothers such a powerful force in American politics." - Tom Cronin, author of The Paradoxes of the American Presidency

Caracteristici

Bzdek was the first to look at the enormous political legacy of Ted Kennedy and his brothersThe Kennedy Legacy hit the Denver Post's bestseller list, and got great reviews in Kirkus: 'Bzdek shines in his selection of details that reveals the Kennedy's humanity...A fine job, well-told' and the St. Louis Times-Dispatch: 'The strength of Bzdek's book is to put Kennedy's accomplishments in the context of his family history' among othersThe media covers the Kennedy family like almost no other clan  - especially Ted Kennedy, the last of the Kennedy brothers, who lost his battle to cancer in the summer of 2009. This book clearly and succinctly takes full measure of their legacy and should stay on the shelves for yearsWith the publication of The Kennedy Legacy and the passing of Congressman Ted Kennedy, Vincent Bzdek has become the media's go-to person to interview about the Kennedy family. He appeared on MSNBC Live, CBS Evening News, Inside Edition, and Fox News, he was interviewed by USA Today, and his tribute to Ted Kennedy was posted on Oprah.com
