An examination of the career of Ted Kennedy as a United States Senator from Massachusetts through 1975. This account seemed quite laudatory in contrast to the last book I read about him — The Last Kennedy, by Robert Sherrill. Lippman chronicles Kennedy's public and behind-the-scenes political efforts, and attempts to evaluate their influence beyond the public recognition he may or may not have received. I learned of this biography from the bibliography of The Kennedys: An American drama by Peter Collier and David Horowitz.
