**2013 Pulitzer Prize Finalist __New York Times__ Ten Best Books of 2012****Riveting__The Patriarch__ is a book hard to put down.” Christopher Buckley, __The New York Times Book Review__** In this magisterial new work __The Patriarch__, the celebrated historian David Nasaw tells the full story of Joseph P. Kennedy, the founder of the twentieth century's most famous political dynasty. Nasawthe only biographer granted unrestricted access to the Joseph P. Kennedy papers in the John F. Kennedy Presidential Librarytracks Kennedy's astonishing passage from East Boston outsider to supreme Washington insider. Kennedy's seemingly limitless ambition drove his career to the pinnacles of success as a banker, World War I shipyard manager, Hollywood studio head, broker, Wall Street operator, New Deal presidential adviser, and founding chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission. His astounding fall from grace into ignominy did not come until the years leading up to and following America's entry into the Second World War, when the antiwar position he took as the first Irish American ambassador to London made him the subject of White House ire and popular distaste. __The Patriarch__
