A fascinating pop-history dive into the stories behind the
incredibly impactful crimes--both infamous and little-known--that
have shaped the legal system as we know it. When asked why true
crime is so in vogue, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and New
York Times bestselling author Amber Hunt always has the same
answer: it's no hotter than it's always been. Crimes and trials
have captured American consciousness since the Salem Witch Trials
in the seventeenth century. And these cases over the centuries have
fundamentally changed our society and shifted our legal system,
resulting in the laws we have today and setting the stage for new
rights and protections. From the first recorded murder trial led by
the first legal dream team, to one of the earliest uses of DNA,
these cases will fascinate.
The Kennedys endure as American icons because of the mix between
power and vulnerability that so many of them embodied. Our
fascination and connection to them comes most strongly through the
wives, whose pain, heartbreak, and grief seemed immensely public
and lonely and personal at the same time. The Tragic Lives of the
Kennedy Wives examines five of the Kennedy matriarchs: Rose,
Jackie, Ethel, Joan, and Vicki. .
