Editorial reviews

A lifelong Democrat, Ted Kennedy served over 46 years as the senior senator from Massachusetts. A notable member of the Catholic community and a champion for social change, Kennedy was reelected seven times before his tragic death in 2009. In these collected quotes, James Conlan shares a number of Kennedy's personal reflections on life, love, politics, and religion. Edited by Bill Adler, each of these quotes is accompanied by a short introduction. Conlan's performance of these quotes is stirring and memorable, the perfect guide through the collected wisdom of a great American.

Disappointing

I was a fan of Senator Kennedy, but this collection of mostly uninspired quotes reveals neither the wit nor the wisdom of his thinking.
