-Titulo Original : Ted Kennedy A Life
-Fabricante :
Penguin Press
-Descripcion Original:
LONGLISTED FOR THE 2022 NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FOR NONFICTION An enthralling and ground-breaking new biography of one of modern America’s most fascinating and consequential political figures, drawing on important new sources, by an award-winning biographer who covered Kennedy closely for many years John A. Farrell’s magnificent biography of Edward M. Kennedy is the first single-volume life of the great figure since his death. Farrell’s long acquaintance with the Kennedy universe and the acclaim accorded his previous books-including his New York Times bestselling biography of Richard Nixon, a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize-helped garner him access to a remarkable range of new sources, including segments of Kennedy’s personal diary and his private confessions to members of his family in the days that followed the accident on Chappaquiddick. Farrell is, without question, one of America’s greatest political biographers and a storyteller of deep wisdom and empathy. His book does full justice to this famously epic and turbulent life of almost unimaginable tragedy and triumph. As the fourth son of the close-knit but fiercely competitive Kennedy clan, Ted was the runt of the litter. Expelled from Harvard University for cheating, he was a fun-loving playboy who nevertheless served his brothers loyally and effectively. It was easy to take Ted lightly, and many did. But when he was elected to the United States Senate at the age of thirty to fill his brother Jack’s seat, something unexpected happened: he found his home and his calling there. Over time, Ted Kennedy would build arguably the most significant senatorial career in American history. His life was buffeted by heartbreak: the violent deaths of his three older brothers, his own terrible plane crash, his children’s bouts with cancer, and the hideous self-inflicted wounds of Chappaquiddick and stretches of drinking and womanizing that caused irreparable damage to an already fragile first marriage. Those wounds scarred Ted deeply but also tempered his character, and, eventually, he embarked on a run as legislator, party elder, and paterfamilias of the Kennedy family that would change America for the better. John A. Farrell brings us the man as he was, in strength and weakness, his profound but complicated inheritance and his vital legacy, as only a great biographer can do. Without the story this book tells, no understanding of modern America can be complete. Review Longlisted for the National Book Award, 2022 “More than just a personal profile, Farrell’s book revisits the origins of policy debates that still divide the country . . . [It] is a character study of the ways the personal and the political can overlap and conflict . . . Farrell mined historical archives from North Carolina to Kansas to California and many points in between. The result of his researchis nearly 600 pages-not counting an extensive index and collection of source notes-that burst with detail.” -Los Angeles Times “Farrell is not afraid to examine complicated aspects of Kennedy’s life, which makes this biography worth the time of any reader interested in our nation’s political history. . . . A must-read for anyone interested in the politics of our era, and in understanding a complex figure whose policy achievements were as numerous as his vices.” -The Associated Press A life so consequential, and by turns tragic and triumphant . . . With right-wing reaction and authoritarianism on the rise, with congressional Republicans cowed from cutting deals with Democrats . . . what better time to look at the legacy of the deal-making senator who embodied both liberal idealism and pragmatism.” -Jackie Calmes, The Boston Globe “Farrell’s concise, revelatory biography emerges as the definitive single volume . . . Farrell’s narrative feels fresh and indelible.” -Oprah Daily “This promises to be a definitive and important biography of the late senator. Farrell, a Pulitzer finalist for his biography
