      Death spared Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis the agony of losing a child, but had she lived to see her son, JFK Jr., die in a plane crash, she would have been horrified by the recurrence of the Kennedy Curse. On a day meant for celebration, tragedy struck once more. In this insightful expose, Edward Klein, a renowned Kennedy biographer and journalist with personal ties to the family, delves into the mysteries surrounding the Kennedys and the seemingly endless string of misfortunes they face. Drawing from numerous interviews, private documents, and archives in both Ireland and America, Klein investigates the patterns behind the Kennedy Curse. The book features vivid portraits of key family members, including Patrick Kennedy, Rose Kennedy's father "Honey Fitz," founding patriarch Joe Kennedy, his ill-fated daughter Kathleen, President Kennedy, William Kennedy Smith, and the ill-fated romance of JFK Jr. and Carolyn Bessette. Each profile illustrates the central thesis: the Kennedy Curse stems from a destructive clash between the family's fantasy of omnipotence and the harsh realities of life. Through this exploration, readers gain a deeper understanding of the forces that have shaped this iconic American family.
