The Kennedys may well be the most photographed, written about,
talked about, admired, hated, and controversial family in American
history. But for all the words and pictures, the real story was not
told until Peter Collier and David Horowitz spent years researching
archives and interviewing both family members and hundreds of
people close to the Kennedys. An immediate classic, The Kennedys
combines intimate knowledge with a perspective free of obligations
to family loyalties and myths, bringing the story of four
generations of "America's family" fully into view. Collier and
Horowitz capture the strain of ambition; the dynastic ebb and flow;
the invention of a mythic identity; the corrosive underside of the
dream of Camelot-developed over four generations-that led one young
Kennedy to say, "We broke the rules and in turn we were broken by
them." The Kennedys: An American Drama is a fascinating and
brilliantly comprehensive history that brings together, for the
first time, all the complex strains of the story of the Kennedys'
rise and fall. The authors have added new material showing the
effect of the death of John F. Kennedy Jr., and the other family
tragedies of the last few years, on the Kennedys and their mythic
role in American life. In addition to The Kennedys, Peter Collier
and David Horowitz are the authors of dynastic biographies of the
Fords, Roosevelts, Rockefellers, and Fondas.
