À propos de cet audio

 From New York Timesbestseller 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.

“A harrowing, incendiary swirl of tragedy, true crime, and reconsidered history, Ask Not sets a match to the glamour and mystique of America’s most famous family.

"Ask Not: The Kennedys and the Women They Destroyed" is a compelling read that delves into the darker aspects of the Kennedy dynasty. I appreciated the thorough research and the unflinching look at how power and privilege impacted the behavior of the Kennedy men and the lives of the women associated with the family. The book is eye-opening and thought-provoking, offering a realistic perspective on a legendary American family.

This is a thoroughly researched exposé of the Kennedy men. What a pathologically rotten group they are. I will never be able to look at a picture of any of them again with anything but disgust.

I believe every word

The Kennedys are NOT a family that should be venerated! They are just abhorrent!

This book was incredibly researched and very well written. Sooooo many things I never knew.

These poor women! Unreal how this has been going on for the better part of a century +.

Revolutionary and revealing!

I loved this book. It’s a no holds barred book about the women who lived with, slept with and gravitated around the Kennedy men going back generations to the present. The Family will not be pleased with this book, but the author is brutally honest and has the receipts to show ! The reader is excellent, sharp and not a bit syrupy. As a lover of history, I enjoyed the whole thing !!!!!

This book contributes to our understanding of recent history, and also current time as RFK Jr is running for president.

Excellent, timely.
