Boston Globe: "[TRUE COMPASS] undoubtedly will prove an invaluable resource for any political historian attempting to construct the narrative of the past half-century, offering an insider's view of battles over various pieces of landmark legislation. Beyond politics, Kennedy offers some insight into his private life, duly acknowledging personal failings and recalling joys with affection.", New York Times Book Review: "Mr. Kennedy is not a particularly introspective writer...But he writes in these pages with searching candor about the losses, joys and lapses of his life; the love and closeness of his family; the solace he found in sailing and the sea; his complex relationships with political allies and rivals. Mr. Kennedy's conversational gifts as a storyteller and his sense of humor...shine through here, as does his old-school sense of public service and his hard-won knowledge, in his son Teddy Jr.'s words, that 'even our most profound losses are survivable.'", New Yorker: "[Kennedy] writes movingly about being the youngest of nine, and offers as loving a portrait of Joseph P. Kennedy as one is likely to read." |
