In this updated and revised edition in what will likely be David Kennedy's only full-scale biography, a fascinating, multi-layered subject emerges. His brief, heartbreaking, sometimes extraordinary, often tumultuous life has regularly been over-looked by biographers. But in this swift-paced book, the reader is taken through all of David's tragic 28 years - his charmed childhood in America's royal family, his special bond with his father Bobby, the complex relationship with his mother Ethel, the turbulence with other family members and their frequent dispair over his drug addiction. Additionally, his women, the crushing weight of the Kennedy legacy and his final days, when the years of abuse caught up with this promising young Kennedy are also dealt with at length. Accompanied by two extensive photo sections
