The House of Kennedy. James Patterson.
The House of Kennedy. James Patterson. 2020. ISBN 9780316494885. The prolific fiction writer, Patterson, takes a rare foray into non-fiction. He strips away the deep layers of PR that have been used for covering up since the time of Joe Kennedy Sr. ( Gangster allied, ruthless businessman, racist, fascist millionaire) all through the subsequent years. Family skeletons are exposed and it is not a pretty sight. Every Kennedy in the public eye (Ie all of the males) has made its share of errors and even crimes (Jacks’s infidelities included). I was raised through the Kennedy Camelot years where Jack and Robert were considered American royalty, heavily buttressed with PR and lawyer protection. It’s an insight into the “entitled”, filthy rich American lifestyle that goes on. The escapades of the Trump bunch are just the logical extension of folks who live in a rich bubble and can get away with murder. Well written and fast-paced, this is a useful, albeit cynical supporting, exposure of what can and did go wrong. And maybe some insight into who did it and why Jack and Bobbie were publically executed by the powers that be (legal and criminal).
