This book primarily covers the great-grandparents, grandparents and parents of JFK, Jr. and his family. Coming to America as immigrants, how they survived and established themselves in Boston (and beyond), etc. Very interesting stuff - if you're looking for the scandals or paparazzi life of JFK, Jackie, Teddy, Bobby, etc., you won't find it here. This book ends with the election of JFK as president. Incredibly researched and very interesting; it was a bit long for me in some parts in regards to political strategizing and party lines, but pulls no punches in honestly revealing the personalities of the family hierarchy and what made them tick. I wouldn't hesitate for a second to pick up another book by this author.
