I'm reading The Patriarch: The Remarkable Life and Turbulent Times of Joseph P. Kennedy , by David Nasaw. It made the NY Times "Ten Best" list last year.

I'm in the middle of the account of Kennedy's failed ambassadorship to Britain and it's riveting. While I quibble at bits, it compellingly portrays Kennedy's outsized personality and tremendous drive and capacity for work.
