{"product_id":"9781628721119","title":"The Kennedy Brothers: The Rise and Fall of Jack and Bobby","description":"Books about the Kennedys are legion. Yet missing until now has  been the exploration of the bond between Jack and Bobby, and  the part that it played in their rise and fall. Eight years apart in  age, they were wildly different in temperament and sensibility.  Jack was the born leader—charismatic, ironic, capable of extraordinary growth and reach, yet also pathologically reckless. Bobby  was the fearless, hardworking Boy Scout—unafraid of dirty work  and ruthless about protecting his brother and destroying their enemies. Jack, it was said, was the first Irish Brahman, Bobby the last  Irish Puritan. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e As Mahoney demonstrates with brilliant clarity in this impeccably  documented, magisterial book, the Kennedys lived their days of  power in dangerous, trackless territory. The revolution in Cuba  had created a poisonous cauldron of pro- and anti-Castro forces,  the CIA, J. Edgar Hoover’s FBI, and the Mafia. Mahoney gives us  Jack and Bobby in all their hubris and humanity, youthfulness and  fatalism. Here is American history as it unfolds. \u003ci\u003eThe Kennedy Brothers\u003c\/i\u003e is  a fresh and masterful account of the men whose legacy continues  to hold the American imagination. Originally published under the title \u003ci\u003eSons and Brothers\u003c\/i\u003e.","brand":"Arcade","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47161828868336,"sku":"9781628721119","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781628721119_p0.jpg?v=1763867953","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781628721119","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
