Even though this book is over 40 years old it had some insights about the Kennedy's beliefs, how they were raised, the influence Ted Kennedy had on the fatherless children that I found interesting. It took about half of the third generation (RFK, Jr., Caroline and John F. Kennedy, Jr.) and each has their own chapter.
