Read by John Bedford Lloyd. In this landmark autobiography, five years in the making, Senator Edward M. Kennedy tells his extraordinary personal story
- of his legendary family, politics, & fifty years at the center of national events. The youngest of nine children born to Joseph P. Kennedy & Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy, he came of age among siblings from whom much was expected. As a young man, he played a key role in the presidential campaign of his brother John F. Kennedy. In 1962 he was elected to the U.S. Senate, where he began a fascinating political education & became a legislator. His life has been marked by tragedy & perseverance, a love of family, & an abiding faith. There have been controversies, too, & Kennedy addresses them with unprecedented candor. At midlife, embattled & uncertain if he would ever fall in love again, he met the woman who changed his life, Victoria Reggie Kennedy. Facing a tough reelection campaign against an aggressive challenger named Mitt Romney, Kennedy found a new voice & began one of the great third acts in American politics.
