and then at the Kennedy family's attempt to be exceptional - an exception
to Irish history, to American history, to history itself. |

The Kennedys
- America's Emerald Kings |
 |
Maier
Thomas
2003 |
Drawing on groundbreaking research both here
and abroad, Maier shows how their Irish Catholic immigrant heritage was
far more central to the Kennedy experience than they or any previous
chroniclers have allowed. John F.Kennedy's historic climb to the White
House - as the first and only religious minority ever elected to the
American presidency ' is only a fraction of this story. |
