Book Description
The Fitzgeralds and the Kennedys is the sweeping history of two immigrant families, their rise to become potent political dynasties, and the marriage that brought the two together to found the most powerful family in America. Drawing on unprecedented access to the family and its private papers, Pulitzer Prize-winning and bestselling historian Doris Kearns Goodwin takes readers from John Francis "Honey Fitz" Fitzgerald's baptism in 1863 through his reign as mayor of Boston, to the inauguration of his grandson as president ninety-eight years later. Each character emerges unforgettably: the young, shrewdly political Rose Fitzgerald; her powerful, manipulative husband, Joseph P. Kennedy; and the "Golden Trio" of Kennedy children -- Joe Jr., Kathleen, and Jack -- whose promise was eclipsed by the family's legacy of tragedy.
Through the prism of two self-made families, Goodwin reveals the ambitions and the hopes that form the fabric of the American nation.

An exceedingly readable history of Irish Americans and two powerful families.......2006-04-23
Dr. Goodwin writes wonderfully about American politics, the Irish Catholic immigration and integration into the polical landscape of Boston, and two families, both with terrific strengths and well noted weaknesses. The writing on Rose Fitzgerald and Joe Kennedy, Sr are particularly good. One gets a visceral feel of destiny as the desire to succeed, almost at any cost, throughout her well researched and written work. Much has been written about "plagarism" or a lack of proper footnoting (corrected in the paperback edition). I would encourage all potential readers to not allow such an unfortunate circumstance in her many years of teaching and writing to get in the way of reading this important piece of U.S. history. This book is a well researched and incredibly well written and readable account of immigration, politics and the rise of 19th Century immigrant families to economic, social and political prominence.
The Mesmerizing Story of America's Royal Family.......2005-01-31
I was thoroughly enthralled, gripped and engaged in this story of three generations of the Fitzgeralds and the Kennedys. The story begins in 1863 with the baptism of John Francis Fitzgerald in Boston and concludes almost 100 years later with the inauguration of John Fitzgerald Kennedy. The families' roots are traced back to the great immigration following the Irish potato famine in the 1840's. From immigration to becoming the American royal family in just three generations is a remarkable achievement that is chronicled in fascinating detail in this comprehensive, definitive narrative.
Even though it is more than 800 pages, the book is not a dry history text, but rather an intriguing glimpse into the lives of the charmed and sometimes tragic lives of this huge Irish Catholic clan. Nothing is omitted, from the affairs of Joseph Kennedy, to the flirtations of Kathleen, the appalling lobotomy of Rosemary, and the sexual antics of John F. Kennedy. The political shenanigans of the elder Fitzgerald provide an interesting examination of Boston politics in the early 1900's...rife with graft and insider manipulation.
The author's writing style is rich, powerful and mesmerizing. For instance, to describe the ascent of JFK into the limelight of American politics, she writes: "For his capacity to arouse the questing imagination of his fellow citizens, and of much of the world beyond America's borders, was to elevate the family saga past the borders of mythology. By the beginning of the fifties he already contained all the elements which his leadership was to be compounded, forged in tumultuous experience, anchored and given direction by his often resented but always unbreakable links to his extraordinary family."
The level of detail and insightful analysis into the complex characters and relationships in the family is well worth your investment of time in reading this tome. A book you won't soon forget.
the book of the century.......2003-06-15
this is the best book about the kennedys.
it'svery complete. the book ends when jack becomes president, i hope she will write a follow-up. there are a lot of rares photos.
she's tells us mainly about the golden trio( jack, joejr and kathleen).
i suggest all the fans of the kennedys to buy it.
Unbelievable book!!.......2003-06-15
This is by far the BEST book about the young Kennedys. It tells about the history of the Fitzgeralds and the Kennedys. Even if you haven't got the slightest interest in the Kennedys or dislike them, READ THIS BOOK! And if you like the Kennedys YOU MUST ABSOLUTELY HAVE THIS IN YOU COLLECTION! There are so cute and adorable photos!! Never seen them elsewhere! I really hope that Goodwin will write another book about the following years, because this book stops in 1960. This is such a good book!!
p.s. Buy the other edition, this one hasn't got any photos.
Herein lies a proper Spotlight Review . . . ........2002-12-21
A note to Mr. Kerwick and to "thomasmcgauley" regarding their opinions of The Fitzgeralds and the Kennedys: An American Saga -- to rate a book poorly based on your opinion of the author is not necessarily the purpose of these Spotlight reviews. These reviews are intended to provide interested readers with information regarding the quality of the work -- and that's where an opinion is involved. It sounds like you've prejudged this novel according your dislike of the author and subject. How about an opinion of the book? Was it well written? Most certainly. Was it informative? You bet. Would I recommend it to someone who didn't hate the author or the Kennedys and who wanted a riviting account of American history -- it's ups and downs and good and bad? That's what the stars represent.

Book Description
On the football field, Lawrence Taylor was an unstoppable force of nature -- arguably the best defensive player in the game and, quite possibly, ever. But off the field, the life of a player who enjoyed a record ten Pro Bowl appearances and led the New York Giants to two Super Bowl victories was an all-out blitz, fueled by drugs, sex, and booze, and charging at breakneck speed toward total self-destruction. This is the shocking true story of a giant's fall ... and his remarkable journey back to the world.
Customer Reviews:
A reminder of Pro Sports........2007-03-29
I think this is a reminder of how Profesinal Athletes can take a turn for the worst. In the beginning of this Autobiography you can see the reality of the being a pro athlete. You see Lawrence in a situation were he is buying drugs and he is being held up and he is mugged. I thought this is a great way to teach people about how drugs can ruin an image and family life. This book is real it is from the eyes of probably the greatest linebacker of all time.
Great Story.......2006-05-22
His story is a very honest and hard look at his life written by he. He goes thru this nightmares of this addiction with honesty and detail. This many setbacks and attempts at sobriety are frightening and unknown to this common man. He were a great player for many years. He have finally conquered he demons and he are now a likable and respected person.
A Waste Of Time.......2005-08-11
Don't bother wasting your time on this book. It's difficult to believe that an individual would spend almost the entire book bragging about illegal and immoral behavior.
LT OUT OF CONTROL.......2005-02-20
THIS IS A VERY HONEST AND HARD LOOK AT LAWRENCE TAYLOR WRITTEN BY HIMSELF. HE GOES THRU THE NIGHTMARES OF THIS ADDICTIONS WITH HONESTY AND DETAIL. THE MANY SET BACKS AND ATTEMPTS AT SOBRIETY ARE VERY INTERESTING AND FRIGHTENING. HE WAS A GREAT PLAYER FOR MANY YEARS FOR THE GIANTS. LT HAS FINALLY GOTTEN A HANDLE ON HIS DEMONS AND IS NOW SOMEONE TO RESPECT. I FOUND THIS TO A WELL WRITTEN BOOK AND RECOMMEND THIS FOR ANYONE.
The truth about LT.......2005-01-25
This book is about a hall of fame football player who drugs at one point took over his life.Lt started using cocaine as a social thing, but then it got to a point that it became a daily thing. The NFL started doing random drug test's Lt would tell people to urine in a cup for him so he can cheat the drug test it wouldn't show that he used drugs. Then Lt got two strikes for failing two drug test's after he heard that if he failed another drug test he would be banned from the NFL. So Lt got serious by going to rehab and cleaning himself up. I would recommend this book to anybody who wants to find out the real truth about Lawrence Taylor. Also because it's a good book to read, and its very interesting. Also to anybody who likes football. And also I would recommend it because it shows you the affects that drugs have on someone's behavior. And it gives you the real facts about Lt's drug habit.
Book Description
Think you know Hollywood movies? Think again!
No matter how many movies you've seen, no matter how many trivia contests you've won, this book is sure to have some surprises for you.
The fifty flicks featured here aren't playing at the local Google-Plex or renting at your video store. These films never actually made it to the big screen---they're the gems that got lost in the Hollywood shuffle, consigned to Development Hell. Imagine, if you will:
* Alfred Hitchcock's The Blind Man, about a pianist suddenly given the ability to see
* Destino, the surreal fusion of two gigantic artistic talents: Salvador Dalí and Walt Disney
* The unmade Star Trek film, Starfleet Academy
* Greta Garbo's triumphant return to the screen that never happened, Lover and Friend
* A senior citizens' Animal House?!?
Each movie here is a treat for the imagination, and also a lesson in the dos and (mostly) don'ts of Hollywood. In here are dramas, sci-fi flicks, comedies, sequels, animated films, and biopics certain to stir the imagination! For the movie enthusiast, this book is a speculative joy, and for the aspiring filmmaker, it's a crash course in cinematic survival.

An extra star for originality..........2002-05-02
Chris Gore's The 50 Greatest Movies Ever Made is wildly uneven, frequently enjoyable, occasionally insightful, and at times kinda annoying. It's also a pretty cool idea that was long overdue and if Gore's book doesn't quite take advantage of the full potential of his concept, its still an idea that was long overdue. Content-wise, this book would probably rate three stars (whatever that actually means) but it deserves that one extra star for being the first of its kind. Hopefully, should someone decide to write a follow-up on other great films that were never made, they'll keep a copy of this book so that they may learn from not only the book's flaws but its strengths as well.
Every film fanatic has a few cherished projects that they learned about while they lingered in Hollywood's development limbo. These were the movies that you looked forward to saying, that you found yourself checking up on whenever you got a spare moment, and these are the movies that either vanished all together or died right when they were on the verge of actually being made. These are the movies that we regret we'll never get a chance to see. Chris Gore's book details fifty of these film projects that, for various reasons, never actually made it to postproduction. In Gore's opinion (and if Chris Gore has anything, its opinions), these fifty films would have all been classics of the cinema and, film-by-film, he details not only why the films were never made but why he believes we should mourn their loss.
Obviously, this is a highly subjective enterprise and Gore is often found defending a film's lost greatness on the basis of little more than his gut instinct. As a result, I doubt there's a reader out there who will agree with all of Gore's choices. Personally, its hard for me to share Gore's disappointment that we were never allowed a chance to see a Stephen Sondheim musical directed by Rob Reiner and co-written by William Goldman. (In fact, I found myself rather relieved that the whole thing fell apart.) Try as I might, I can't summon up any enthusiasm for Swirlie, a serious crime film featuring a crime boss whose head is a giant ice cream cone. Even Gore himself seems to be trying a bit too hard to convince himself that the failure of Jerry Lewis' That's Life is something to be regretted. However, for every project that left me scratching my head, Gore came through with chapters on lost film projects that actually did seem to have the potential to be something special. After completing this book, I did find myself wishing that I could run out and rent a copy Harrow Alley (costarring George C. Scott and Mel Gibson). I did wish for a chance to catch the macabre comedy Won't Fade Out on late night TV. Even the campy, stoner thrills of Biker's Heaven, the Easy Rider sequel, sounded like a potentially fun film to watch with a couple of properly medicated friends. Its films like these that are the saving grace of Gore's frustratingly brief overview.
As a critic, Gore has never been one to emulate the psuedo-literary approaches made famous by Andrew Sarris and Pauline Kael. And indeed, one wishes that he had gone into a lot more detail on most of the films he writes about in this book. However, while his style leaves some of his less compelling unmade film favorites at a disadvantage, it also works wonders for the occasional film that actually has the spark of something special. After reading his terse, to-the-point descriptions of Harrow Alley, I felt as if I had actually watched that film in all of its potential genius. Whatever its flaws, this is a book to be commended. Now hopefully, Gore or some other critic will work out the kinks in time for a second edition and give us a book that leaves us with no doubt that its unrealized films deserve to be known as the greatest.
Wildly Uneven.......2000-12-18
Gore's book is a great idea done badly. The writing itself is breathless and opinionated (okay, for a book like this maybe you have to do a little of that -- operative word being 'little'). The reviews themselves have no consistency to them. One movie is described in detail and the reason for its not being made is a dismissive paragraph telling us that "things just didn't work out." Others give great detail on the reasons for the film not being made and only sketchy ideas about the content. The result is that the reader doesn't get a clear picture of what made so many of these failed projects special (although the narrowmindedness of the Hollywood system is driven home again and again and again).
At the end Gore opines (one of his favorite words) the other movies he wished he could have mentioned. He could have discussed them if he had confined himself to only one Orson Welles project, one National Lampoon/Saturday Night Live alumni project, etc. Assuming that every potential film from a director's body of work is a lost masterpiece only pushes the book into fanboydom (after all, besides "Schindler's List" and "Saving Private Ryan," Spielberg also made "1941" and "Hook").
A book of this length would have been better served by being about only 25 movies. And should have been written by another writer.
A more accurate title would leave out the word "greatest".......2000-07-26
Did you ever see the Marx Brothers comedy A Day at the U.N.? How about the Roger Rabbit sequel where it turns out that Bugs Bunny is Roger's father? If you never saw these movies, don't worry--nobody else has, either. However, they are (or were) legitimate movie projects, well-chronicled in Chris Gore's book, The 50 Greatest Movies Never Made.
The book lovingly details 50 films which never got beyond the planning stages for various reasons. Many of them involved heavy Hollywood hitters, from Steven Spielberg (who helped to get the first ROGER RABBIT off the ground), to DOUBLE INDEMNITY director Billy Wilder (who brainstormed the aborted Marx Brothers film as well as a Laurel & Hardy comedy), to Alfred Hitchcock (who proposed a movie about a blind pianist whose sight is restored).
While the book is a fast-paced, popcornish read, the book's not-so-subtle point is to make film purists gnash their teeth at the thought of these potential film classics never getting made. For me, the book's only surprise was that they left out many of my favorites, including Buster Keaton's proposed take-off of Grand Hotel, Charlie Chaplin's The Freak (about a girl who sprouts wings), and an aborted Western starring The Beatles.
It's easy to cry about potential film masterpieces that never got beyond the planning stage. The trouble is that, like many real lost films that come to light after being re-discovered, they often turn out to be classics only if they remain lost. And considering some of the awful ideas which do make it to the light of a movie theater--as witness the recent bomb AT FIRST SIGHT, starring Val Kilmer as (shades of Hitchcock) a blind artist who regains his sight--maybe these movies have rotted in Development Limbo for some very good reasons.
That said, the book will be an eye-opener to novices who have never heard the term "turn-around," and brain candy for those who have seen awful ideas that *did* get made into movies.
C.G. will quickly make you want to strangle him!.......2000-07-11
This was certainly a good idea for a book, but it was very badly done. What annoyed me the most was how Chris Gore kept ranting against the studio system, sometimes forgetting to talk about the movie in order to write a couple of pages about how Hollywood studios stink. (Hey, Gore, if there were no major studio movies, there would be almost no movie theaters to show Hollywood *or* independent films!)
Also, as other people have pointed out, he frequently doesn't go into depth about the movie in areas such as (1) why the movie never got made, (2) what ingredients might have made the movie so great, and a few times, to some degree, (3) what the movie is actually about other than a quick description!
His snotty and oh-I-'m-so-right-and-clever attitude will make you want buy copies of his book just so you can throw them at him.
P.S. - Hey Chris, do you still think "The Fantastic Four" movie is fabulous, and better than any major studio with a big budget could make?
Was There An Editor?.......2000-07-06
While I did enjoy this book somewhat, I was baffled by the overwhelming number of typos and factual errors contained within. This was an amazing distraction from the otherwise enlightening content that Gore's book provides.

"Read this book if you want your ideas to become corporate breakthroughs." -Michael Basch, FedEx founding Sr. Vice President, author CustomerCulture
Politics is an inevitable, legitimate, and potentially beneficial aspect of corporate and organizational life.

Assess allies and resistors
Build coalitions
Negotiate support
Understand the agendas of others
Get Them on Your Side, written by Samuel B. Bacharach-the McKelvey-Grant chair in the Department of Organizational Behavior at Cornell University's School of Industrial and Labor Relations-builds your political competence with fascinating illustrations from the worlds of business, government, academia, and nonprofit organizations. With Get Them on Your Side, you'll develop the specific leadership skills you need to get results-now!

Efficient & Effective Implementation Guide.......2006-05-29
The books explains it all - strategy and tactics, high and low, in-the-box and outside-the-box, ... - the how, what, when, where and who of how to get buy in.
Its easy to read and implement. My implementation notes from reading the book span a single page. Not only is a consistent structure put in place, but the chapters have numerous strategies/tactics on dealing with difficult situations.
Its making a difference in my real like at work. (Thats a lot to say).
Highly recommended - simply go out and buy it. It will make a difference in your life.
Political Competence 101.......2006-02-17
Political savvy can shape your career in any organization. Most "politically competent" people developed their talent through extensive experience. Such competence is a difficult skill to transmit through book learning. That sums up the major shortcoming of Samuel B. Bacharach's book. On the plus side, he provides matrices and enumerates the characteristics you need to build coalitions. He also provides extensive examples, accounting for nearly half the book, to illustrate politically wise tactics. Yet, Bacharach's tone is occasionally professorial. His ideas about coalition building are certainly applicable, but people who are truly politically savvy will not need this book. We recommend it primarily for novices - those who want to be wise corporate politicians, but aren't yet. If you are higher up the ladder, you should already have developed your political competence - although you may appreciate the refresher course.
How to build coalitions, understand agendas and how they can work for you, and utilize minds and talents of those who can help .......2006-02-03
How can a politician win over enemies and gain and mobilize support for a cause? Learn how to build coalitions, understand agendas and how they can work for you, and utilize minds and talents of those who can help with the aid of Get Them On Your Side: Win Support. Convert Skeptics. Get Results. From how organizations process new information to change how they operate to understanding regulations and justifying actions, Get Them On Your Side tells how to understand underlying politics.
New York Filmmaker Loved it!.......2006-01-16
As an independent filmmaker, I rely on investors who could choose to put their money into just about anything. "Get Them on Your Side" does an excellent job of demonstrating how to get across a radical idea in a way that can be palatteable to all walks of life.
No matter your profession, this book will hold at least a few useful tools that will make your professional experience more gratifying and your time more effective.
women in business.......2006-01-09
Samuel Bacharach's book is absolutely fantastic. Although it is excelent for anyone in business, it should be of particuar interest for the businesswoman.
I am sure that I am not the only woman who has sadly discovered that, as a woman, it is especially difficult to get your ideas implemented. It is hard to believe that in the 21st century, so many of us find ourselves fighting that same old battle to be taken seriously. But don't throw in the towel! There is help between the covers of this book. Professor Bacharach gives detailed strategies that anyone can grasp in order to change the status quo. I promise that you too can learn to "get them on your side."
This is a book that belongs in everyones library, whether you work in corporate America, are organizing a new project for the PTA, or anything in between.
