1. Ted Kennedy
A comprehensive political biography that traces the arc of an ambitious scion of the Kennedy dynasty from privilege and promise through decades in the U.S. Senate, balancing accounts of major legislative achievements and liberal causes with candid examinations of personal failings—notably the Chappaquiddick episode, struggles with alcohol and relationships, and thwarted presidential aspirations—and assesses how those contradictions shaped both his public effectiveness and complicated his legacy in American politics.
