Features: The only "royal family" in American history, a once-glorious but tragically marked family. The Kennedy Curse—a global mystery, the fated tragedy of a mythic family. In this explosive insider account, acclaimed Kennedy family biographer Edward Klein draws on his deep personal connections with numerous members of the Kennedy family. Over 15 years, he interviewed 140 people, obtaining detailed and authentic material from the latest friends of the Kennedy family, tracing the family's past, documenting the events of the summer of 1963, and the collapse of John F. Kennedy Jr.'s "fairytale marriage," unveiling the greatest modern mystery: why do members of the Kennedy family always become victims of successive disasters? Communicating with figures who have never appeared in the public eye, uncovering long-buried private diaries, and conversing with Jacqueline—author Klein takes us on a journey across the United States and Ireland to explore all the deep-rooted reasons behind the "Kennedy Curse."
