The recent death of America's most famous matriarch signals the end of an amazing era. Now, drawing on hundreds of recently declassified documents, and with the cooperation of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis's relatives, among others, New York Times bestselling author Charles Higham chronicles the life of Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy in this dramatic, moving biography. During her times of glory, agony and ecstasy, Rose gave birth to nine children and to an unforgettable vision of the American Dream. Deeply religious, intensely ambitious for her family, she moved through fascinating worlds: politics, big business, England as the American ambassador's wife, Hollywood, high society, and Washington's inner circles. The tragic deaths of four of her children never shook her faith; she believed despite the worst that God always held her in his hands.
Featuring many anecdotes from the fascinating and colorful life of the Kennedy Clan matriarch, Rose includes new material about the Kennedy family's theories of the JFK assassination, much detail about Rose's stormy relationships with her children and grandchildren, the truth about Joe Kennedy's "affair" with Gloria Swanson, and more. 16 pages of photos.

Rose
This "biography" was basically a vehicle for Joe Kennedy and JFK. There was barely any insight into Rose's feelings and what she thought. The author claims to be a family friend but never says how and he barely touched upon the numerous affairs both Joe and his sons had and the effect it had on Rose. He claims that the affair between Gloria Swanson and Joe was barely worth mentioning but which most historians of both the Kennedy's and Hollywood disagree.
Another thing that really bothered me was that the author felt it was hardly worth mentioning Rose's relationship with her kids, especially Rosemary. I have read a whole biography on Rosemary Kennedy and it was more informative then this book.
I suggest if you want to learn more about Rose Kennedy please please please find another book. Or better yet read her Wikipedia page that's more informative.
