Edward M. Kennedy is widely regarded as one of the great Senators
in the nation's history. He is also the patriarch of America's most
heralded family. In this landmark autobiography, five years in the
making, Senator Kennedy speaks with unprecedented candor about his
extraordinary life.
The youngest of nine children born to Joseph P. Kennedy and Rose
Fitzgerald Kennedy, he came of age among siblings from whom much
was expected. As a young man, he played a key role in the
presidential campaign of his brother, John F. Kennedy. In 1962, he
was elected to the U.S. Senate, where he learned how to become an
effective legislator.
His life has been marked by tragedy and perseverance, a love for
family and an abiding faith. He writes movingly of his brothers and
their influence on him; his years of struggle in the wake of their
deaths; his marriage to the woman who changed his life, Victoria
Reggie Kennedy; his role in the major events of our time (from the
civil rights movement to the election of Barack Obama); and how his
recent diagnosis of a malignant brain tumor has given even greater
urgency to his long crusade for improved health care for all
Americans.
Written with warmth, wit, and grace, "True Compass" is Edward M.
Kennedy's inspiring legacy to readers and to history.
