For all his wealth and power, Joe Kennedy was not a happy man. He also had no shame. What he cared about was having power. Through the political dynasty that he founded, he achieved that for generations to come. If he hurt and corrupted others in the process, no one had the courage to challenge him. The results are the myths that continue to enshrine the Kennedy family and maintain it as a national obsessions. This book explodes those myths.

French philosopher Jean Paul Sartre said that "words are loaded pistols". In the hands of Russ Baker, they are hydrogen bombs. On each and every page of his masterpiece, Family of Secrets, he explodes the myths and lies that powerful forces have perpetrated on the American consciousness. He digs beneath the surface in a form of journalistic archeology to reveal the hidden history of one of America's most powerful families, leaving no stone unturned.

A weak nothing.

I expected so much more. I knew more about the bush dynasty than this person was willing to write about it unless he just didn’t know himself he missed an awful lot . I kept waiting for him to put it all together. The drug cartels, the Clintons, Prescott Bush ,Marvin bush, Florida voting scandals, 911 lies and cover up. The Iraq war .The tragedy of our loss of constitutional rights. This was not a hard-hitting book. Incredibly weak, The last half of the last chapter Eluded to the crimes In a vague fearful
pile of fluff.
