This is not just another book about the Kennedys. Although, it covers in great detail their era. History is not pretty in fact it’s downright ugly, and we should not gussie it up to make it appear otherwise.
A new generation of O’Donnells picked up where The Life and Times of Liam O’Donnell left off, in the year-by-year historical novel, Rory O’Donnell and the Kennedys, removes the emperor’s clothes, revealing the ugly political secrets of the ’50s and ’60s. Following WWII, an unprepared America assumed the mantle of leadership for the Free World, survived the Cold War, the Cuban Crisis, fought two inconclusive wars (Korea and Vietnam), assassinated among others, their President, a Senator and the Leader of the Civil Rights movement.
Every major issue, confronting our country and the world today, can be traced to those two-decades. The social upheaval that haunts our cities from the formation of gangs, the thriving drug culture, to the pedophile culture staining the Catholic Church originated in the period immediately following WWII.
The fictional committee of 13, may not have not existed in reality, but its dogma resided in the minds of man.
Through the adroit combination of historical and fictional characters, the author takes the reader behind the scenes, beginning with the euphoria following WWII, traces the societal changes, the Korean War, the assassinations of JFK, MLK, and RFK to the despair in the jungles of Vietnam.
The Vietnam letters owe much of their authenticity to my good friend Doug Kiel who was one of the first grunts from the States to land there.
