In this pioneering new work, celebrated historian David Nasaw
examines the life of Joseph P. Kennedy, the founder of the
twentieth century's most famous political dynasty. Drawing on
never-before-published materials from archives on three continents
and interviews with Kennedy family members and friends, Nasaw tells
the story of a man who participated in the major events of his
times: the booms and busts, the Depression and the New Deal, two
world wars and the Cold War, and the birth of the New Frontier. In
studying Kennedy's life, we relive the history of the American
century. "Riveting...The Patriarch is a book hard to put down...As
his son indelibly put it some months before his father was struck
down: 'Ask not what your country can do for you - ask what you can
do for your county.' One wonders what was going through the mind of
the patriarch, sitting a few feet away listening to that soaring
sentiment as a fourth-generation Kennedy became president of the
United States. After coming to know him over the course of this
brilliant, compelling book, the reader might suspect that he was
thinking he had done more than enough for his country. But the gods
would demand even more." - New York Times Book Review
