Foreword
Description
An historic, fully illustrated tribute to the life of Ted Kennedy, produced by the award-winning reporters and photographers at The Boston Globe.
• Exceptional package: The elegant interior design features vibrant photographs, most never before published in book form and many unseen for decades, selected from The Boston Globe’s vast archives.
• Historic coverage: Over the past fifty years, no other paper has followed the Kennedy family as closely, or has been granted as much access to them, as The Boston Globe. As the hometown paper of the Kennedy family, The Boston Globe is the definitive source of archival photographs and personal interviews—and Ted Kennedy will also include fresh quotes and commentary from Ted Kennedy’s peers.
• A richly detailed portrait of the man known to many as Uncle Ted: This beautifully produced book will highlight the Senator’s childhood in Hyannis, London, and New York; his days at Harvard University and in the U.S. Senate; and his roles as devoted son, brother, husband, father, uncle, and grandfather.
