Publisher's Summary

The Kennedy Imprisonment - A Meditation on Power by Garry Wills - 1982 

Atlantic Little Brown Stated First Edition 

"This book is an exhilaration search-and-destroy mission on the higher slopes of our political culture. By turns comic and deeply serious, it is the most acute assessment so far of the Kennedy phenomenon." (Ward Just author of Honor, Riches, Fame & the Love of Women

Garry Wills deftly exposes the influence that certain notions of "toughness", "masculinity", and "success", have had on the public careers of the Kennedy family and on the history of the last twenty-five years." (James Fallows author of National Defence)
