From the moment of their births, John and Caroline Kennedy occupied a central position in what is generally regarded as the most famous family in the United States, if not the world. Even as young children growing up in the White House, their most subtle gestures and actions made headlines.... Yet until now they have not been the subject of a dual biography. In that sense, this volume represents a first. In American Legacy, #1 New York Times bestselling author C. David Heymann draws upon a voluminous archive of personal interviews to present a telling portrait of John and Caroline Kennedy. A longtime biographer of various members of the Kennedy clan, including Jackie and Robert Kennedy, Heymann covers John's and Caroline's childhood in the White House, the dark aftermath of their father's assassination, their uneasy adolescence, and the many challenges they faced as adults, all under the glaring eye of the media. He reveals John's and Caroline's loving but at times trying relationship with their larger-than-life mother, as well as Jackie's own emotional struggles, romantic relationships, and financial concerns following JFK's death. Other revelations brought to light for the first time in American Legacy include the assassination attempt made on Jackie just before she gave birth to John; JFK Jr.'s romantic escapades prior to marrying Carolyn Bessette and accounts of the predominantly happy marriage they shared despite criticisms from questionable sources; the shocking report of the autopsy performed on John following the tragic plane crash that killed him, Carolyn, and her sister Lauren; Caroline's rise to become one of the wealthiest women in America and her life now as the sole keeper of her family's magnificently complex legacy. Utterly compelling and full of new and fascinating details, American Legacy overturns much of what we thought we knew about two of the most talked-about members of the Kennedy family.

At this time of writing, The Audiobook American Legacy: The Story of John and Caroline Kennedy has garnered 10 customer reviews with rating of 5 out of 5 stars. Not a bad score at all as if you round it off, it’s actually a perfect TEN already. From the looks of that rating, we can say the Audiobook is Good TO READ!

I have to respectfully disagree with the reviewer who urges those who have previously read about the Kennedys to purchase this book. I have read several Kennedy biographies, and I'm not sure this was a worthwhile purchase. For me most of this book was a rehash of earlier material. In fact, much of it is a retread of Heymann's previous book, "A Woman Named Jackie".The book attempts to grab readers by promising an explosive revelation from the autopsy report of John Jr., which turns out to be a suggestion that John may have been under the influence of alcohol at the time he crashed his plane. Yet Heymann admits that the toxicology reports do not indicate whether the alcohol found in his system was the result of premortem or postmortem events. And although one man who encountered John at a convenience store near the airport noticed a bottle of wine under his arm, Heymann offers no witnesses who actually observed Kennedy consuming alcohol. So in my opinion that allegation falls a bit flat.As for Caroline, she apparently has a very protective and discreet circle of friends, and I have yet to read a biography of Caroline that really fleshed out who she is beyond the woman who appears in the news handing out Profiles in Courage awards. This book is no exception. And if you are looking for shocking revelations about Caroline, the best Heymann can come up with is that she may have smoked some pot as a college student in the 1970s. And her forever appearances-conscious mother gave her a hard time about her weight.Heymann in fact seems less than fond of Caroline and spends about two pages accusing her of exploitation in her publishing ventures, particularly the book of her mother's favorite poems. Personally I found that book to be quite tastefully done, but in any event, are we to believe that Heymann's Kennedy tell-alls were written for charitable purposes? Seems a bit hypocritical to me.All in all, if you've never read a Kennedy biography, this could be an interesting read. The material on John could be fascinating to those new to the subject, and compared to other John Jr. biographers, Heymann's treatment of Carolyn Bessette is quite sympathetic. On the other hand, if you have read any of the previous books about Jackie and/or John Jr., you may find yourself a bit bored with this one, as I was. For those in that group, I'd find a used copy, or wait for the cheaper paperback version.
