The Kennedys: Dynasty and Disaster

John H. Davis's illuminating and informative history of America's most provocative family stretches from the bludgeoning business tactics of Joseph P. Kennedy to Senator Ted Kennedy's involvement in the Palm Beach scandal and the latest developments in the JFK and RFK assassination cases.

As first cousin to Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis, Davis has enjoyed a close relationship with the Kennedy family. This familiarity has allowed him access to a number of previously unpublished personal letters, papers and recently released transcripts, which, combined with months of interviews, have produced one of the most comprehensive and revealing biographies ever written on an American family clan.
