À propos de cet audio
In this historic memoir, the late Ted Kennedy takes us inside his family, re-creating life with his parents and brothers and explaining their profound impact on him. For the first time, he describes his heartbreak and years of struggle in the wake of their deaths. Through it all, he describes his work in the Senate on the major issues of our time - civil rights, Vietnam, Watergate, the quest for peace in Northern Ireland - and the cause of his life: improved health care for all Americans, a fight influenced by his own experiences in hospitals.
His life was marked by tragedy and perseverance, a love of family, and an abiding faith. There have been controversies, too, and Kennedy addresses them with unprecedented candor.
At midlife, embattled and uncertain if he would ever fall in love again, he met the woman who changed his life, Victoria Reggie Kennedy. Facing a tough reelection campaign against an aggressive challenger named Mitt Romney, Kennedy found a new voice and began one of the great third acts in American politics, sponsoring major legislation, standing up for liberal principles, and making the pivotal endorsement of Barack Obama for president.
Hundreds of books have been written about the Kennedys. True Compass will endure as the definitive account from a member of America's most heralded family, an inspiring legacy to listeners and to history, and a deeply moving story of a life like no other.

A Great Story
This is one of my very favourite Audible books. The only thing that could possibly have improved it would be if Ted Kennedy had narrated it, but given his health, the last year of his life, that would be asking a lot. Ted talks about his Faith, and that clearly was a very important part of his life. The 1990s, when Jackie Kennedy, Rose Kennedy, Michael Kennedy, and then John Kennedy Jr. died must have been a very tough time for him. He filled in for Jack and Robert, in raising a whole generation of Kennedys. All in all, a really good book.

Excellent autobiography
It was quite enlightening and inspiring to listen to Teddy Kennedy’s life story. Especially since he was born more in the middle of the family, his perspective and experiences were most informative and helpful to know and understand how he left his mark on the matters that were near and dear to his heart.
