Publisher Description

Now with an all-new bonus chapter—in the bestselling The House of Kennedy, “James Patterson applies his writerly skills to real-life history . . . re-telling the political clan’s rise and fall and rise again (and fall again) with novelistic style” (People).

The Kennedys have always been a family of charismatic adventurers, raised to take risks and excel, living by the dual family mottos: "To whom much is given, much is expected" and "Win at all costs." And they do—but at a price.

Across decades and generations, the Kennedys have occupied a unique place in the American imagination: charmed, cursed, at once familiar and unknowable. The House of Kennedy is a revealing, fascinating account of America's most storied family, as told by America's most trusted storyteller.

When I wrote my first novel after several nonfiction works about politics, James Patterson lovingly lambasted me for infringing on his thriller territory. Now I know how he feels as he crosses into political nonfiction with this juicy and entertaining look at a family that continues to wield power and influence. He's too good--it isn't fair!
— Jake Tapper, CNN anchor and author of The Hellfire Club

Quotes

“[Patterson] crosses into political nonfiction with this juicy and entertaining look at a family that continues to wield power and influence.”
— Jake Tapper, CNN anchor and New York Times bestselling author
“A breezy history of the Kennedy family, from patriarch Joe Sr. in the 1920s to John Jr.’s plane crash in 1999. ‘In telling the family story, you can also tell the story of this country,’ Patterson says.”
— Washington Post
