What is Joseph P. Kennedy Presents: His Hollywood Years (Vintage) about?

<p><P>Joseph P. Kennedy&rsquo;s reputation as a savvy businessman, diplomat, and sly political patriarch is well-documented.&#160; But his years as a Hollywood mogul have never been fully explored until now.&#160; <br><br>In <i>Joseph P. Kennedy Presents</i>, Cari Beauchamp brilliantly explores this unknown chapter in Kennedy&rsquo;s biography.&#160; Between 1926 and 1930, Kennedy positioned himself as a major Hollywood player. In two short years, he was running three studios simultaneously and then, in a bold move, he merged his studios with David Sarnoff to form the legendary RKO Studio.&#160; Beauchamp also tells the story of Kennedy&rsquo;s affair with Gloria Swanson; how he masterminded the mergers that created the blueprint for contemporary Hollywood; and made the fortune that became the foundation of his empire.</p> <h3>The New York Times - Thomas Mallon</h3> <p>Cari Beauchamp's smart&#8230;new book, suggests that nothing in Kennedy's long career of banking, stock manipulation and New Dealing prepared him for presidential politics the way his time in the picture business did.</p>
