Maureen Callahan
À propos de cet audio
From New York Times bestseller Maureen Callahan, a fierce, character-driven exposé of the real Kennedy Curse—the family’s generations-long legacy of misogyny, murder, and mayhem.
The Kennedy name has long been synonymous with wealth, power, glamor, and—above all else—integrity. But this carefully constructed veneer hides a dark truth: the pattern of Kennedy men physically and psychologically abusing women and girls, leaving a trail of ruin and death in each generation’s wake. Through decades of scandal after scandal—from sexual assaults to reputational slander, suicides to manslaughter—the family and their defenders have kept the Kennedy brand intact. Now, in Ask Not, bestselling author and journalist Maureen Callahan reveals the Kennedys’ hidden history of violence and exploitation, laying bare their unrepentant sexism and rampant depravity while also restoring these women and girls to their rightful place at the center of the dynasty’s story: from Jacqueline Onassis and Marilyn Monroe to Carolyn Bessette, Martha Moxley, Mary Jo Kopechne, Rosemary Kennedy, and many others whose names aren’t nearly as well known but should be.
Drawing on years of explosive reportage and written in electric prose, Ask Not is a long-overdue reckoning with this fabled family and a consequential part of American history that is still very much with us. At long last, Callahan redirects the spotlight to the women in the Kennedys’ orbit, paying homage to those who freed themselves and giving voice to those who, through no fault of their own, could not.

The Kennedys have always been a family of charismatic adventurers, raised to take risks and excel, living by the dual family mottos: "To whom much is given, much is expected" and "Win at all costs". And they do - but at a price. Across decades and generations, the Kennedys have occupied a unique place in the American imagination: charmed, cursed, at once familiar and unknowable. The House of Kennedy is a revealing, fascinating account of America's most storied family, as told by America's most trusted storyteller.

Engaging and hard to put down.
Lots of great information about the Kennedys. Ultimately more of a factual account without any in depth insights or character development. Still, a very compelling read

The most honest
I loved this book. It’s a no holds barred book about the women who lived with, slept with and gravitated around the Kennedy men going back generations to the present. The Family will not be pleased with this book, but the author is brutally honest and has the receipts to show ! The reader is excellent, sharp and not a bit syrupy. As a lover of history, I enjoyed the whole thing !!!!!

Gripping Read
This was a really well written book. Society deifies politicians, and the Kennedy brothers are still widely regarded amongst the greatest in American history. It’s clear that they ruined the lives of many women and the author did a service to those women by making them the focus of this book.

I was ‘hooked’ especially on JFK J and Carolyn Bessette, truly a fascinating read into the many women who would cross paths with the Kennedy men. Maureen’s attention to archival detail enlightens in spades! Highly recommend.

This book is a huge fail. It’s very boring and very pedestrian. I was expecting much more, but this book is worse than some cheap magazine tabloid. A total waste of money.

Terrible waste of time and money - don’t bother
Such a convoluted mosh-mash of stories, many MANY of which were either completely unrelated to one another, or completely irrelevant, all to try and tie a narrative together.
It’s undeniably that the Kennedy men (and women) have gotten away with a lot because of their privilege, but this book, through the author’s storytelling techniques actually makes them look as though she is deliberately trying to smear them.
Had she simply stuck to the facts, the key people and events, rather than try and associate events completely unrelated to the Kennedy men ( hello, Mike Tyson’s rape sentence?!?!) to throw as many unsavoury stories at the reader/listener is a cheap tactic to confuse timelines and storylines for no purpose other than to unsuccessfully accomplish her goal of making them look as bad as possible.
Unfortunately, anyone with a little knowledge of these stories prior to reading this book can easily identify the myriad instances where the author fudges truths or leaves out key information.
Don’t bother wasting your time or money on this book.
