The Fitzgeralds and the Kennedys by Doris Kearns Goodwin

Description

In its drama and scope, Doris Kearns Goodwin’s The Fitzgeralds and the Kennedys is one of the richest works of biography in the last decade.

From the wintry day in 1863 when John Francis Fitzgerald was baptized, through the memorable moment ninety-eight years later when his grandson and namesake John Fitzgerald Kennedy was inaugurated as President of the United States, the author brings us every colorful inch of this unique American tapestry. With unprecedented access to the Kennedy family and to decades of private papers, Doris Kearns Goodwin has crafted a singular work of American history: It is at once the story of an era, of the immigrant experience, and — most of all — of two families, whose ambitions propelled them to unrivaled power and whose passions nearly destroyed them.

This is a hardback, first edition copy of the book, in excellent used condition. Signed by the author. Mylar protected. There’s a small, faint grey spot on the edges of the pages (see photos), but it’s pretty insignificant!
