I have always been fascinated by Joseph Kennedy, mostly because of the great triumphs and tragedies of his children. This book mostly just covers his time as Ambassador to Britain during the important years leading up to World War II. He wasn't really a great fit for an ambassadorship and made many gaffes during his time in the position. It is an interesting time in Europe and I think this book captured the maneuverings of the people in power at the time. I received a digital ARC of this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
