<h3>Synopsis</h3> 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. Maureen Callahan is an award-winning investigative journalist and the author of the New York Times bestseller American Predator: The Hunt for the Most Meticulous Serial Killer of the 21st Century. Her writing has appeared in Vanity Fair, The New York Times Magazine, Spin, New YorkMagazine, the New York Post, and the Daily Mail, where she currently has a column. She lives in New York. <h3>About the Author</h3> Maureen Callahan is an award-winning investigative journalist and the author of the New York Times bestseller American Predator: The Hunt for the Most Meticulous Serial Killer of the 21st Century.

Very interesting book delving behind the scenes of the Kennedy crew, and the realizing how crappy a lot of them were and still are.

I was not familiar with the author Maureen Callahan, but I was impressed by her scholarship as I watched Andrew Klavan interview her regarding the release of her new book, Ask Not.  The text is enhanced by a table of contents, photo sections, extensive notes, a bibliography, an index, and a Kennedy family tree.  The table of contents is useful because it specifies which women are featured in each chapter.  In addition, using the index is helpful because the same woman is often referenced in more than one chapter.  I have not extensively followed news about the Kennedy family in the past, but I was familiar with many exploits of the Kennedy men.  Ms. Callahan's book includes many interesting details that were previously unknown to me.  I would recommend reading Ask Not to gain an understanding of the political and cultural significance of the Kennedy family in the recent history of our nation.

Gave Away My 1st Copy But Purchased a 2nd One

Love her work, the written and spoken on her new podcast, The Nerve🌸

This book truly destroys the myth that the Kennedys have managed to build around themselves. It shows the ruthlessness of the way they build their "empire" without caring about the lives they destroyed.

Fabulous book

Great book

Very good insight historically on a very controversial family.  All content was researched throughly.  Beautifully written.

Stupid Kennedy Women

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] For all of us who had been hoodwinked into believing the Kennedy men were wonderful. They were not.

A must read

This is an interesting read. It starts out being a little dull but picks up soon. Also has lots of pictures which I like to see in books.  I definitely would recommend the book
