Review of Joseph Kennedy (JFK’s Father) Biography ‘The Patriarch’, He Opposed US Entry into WW2, Sympathized With Germany
“The Patriarch”, published in 2012, is a fascinating book. Not because it is terribly well-written, but because of the subject matter. A key player in 20th century American society in such diverse fields as Business, Politics, Finance and Entertainment, Kennedy was a unique phenomenon if not a force of nature.
A proper review of this nearly 800 page biography would require 15 or more pages to do it justice, but for the sake of brevity, this review will focus only on one area – controversy!
