Maureen Callahan’s book goes over some familiar ground, but assembles a case against Kennedy men over how they treated the women in their lives.
, son of the senator slain in 1968, is running for the presidency as an independent. Joseph Kennedy III, grandson of Robert Kennedy, was considered a potential future president when he gave the reply to Donald Trump’s State of the Union address three years ago.And if the adherents of QAnon, the bizarre pro-Trump conspiracy group, are to be believed, then John F. Kennedy jnr, killed in a plane crash in 1999, is alive and will return any day to join Trump in ridding America of evil.
In tackling the Kennedy family treatment of the women in their lives, Callahan is setting out over fairly well-trodden ground. It should not come as a surprise to anyone at this point that John F. Kennedy was an unfaithful husband, that Ted Kennedy should have been convicted of vehicular manslaughter for the death of Mary Jo Kopechne at Chappaquiddick in 1969, that John F. Kennedy jnr wasn’t that bright, or that Robert Kennedy jnr is rather strange, to say the least.
Jackie Kennedy carefully cultivated the mythology that has maintained her family’s political currency through to 2024.At the same time, there are deeper and darker stories that Callahan brings out well, particularly the damage wrought by the family founder and patriarch, Joseph Kennedy.
