"Given the extraordinary sweep of Kennedy’s life—banker, Wall Street speculator, real estate baron, liquor magnate (but not bootlegger), moviemaker, Washington administrator, ambassador, paterfamilias and dynastic founder—the miracle is that Nasaw was able to tell the whole damned story in only 787 pages."
In The New York Times, Christopher Buckley reviews David Nasaw's The Patriarch: The Remarkable Life and Turbulent Times of Joseph P. Kennedy.
Slate runs articles adapted from Nasaw's book.
