Kennedy, Jr., was still a man in search of his destiny. All that changed in 1995, when Kennedy launched a bold new magazine about American politics, puckishly called \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eGeorge\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e. Over the next four years, Kennedy's passionate commitment to the magazine -- and to the ideals it stood for -- transformed him.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOne witness to this transformation was Richard Blow, an editor and writer who joined \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eGeorge\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e several months before the release of its first issue. During their four years together, Blow observed his boss rise to enormous challenges -- starting a risky new business, managing the pressures that attend a high public profile, and beginning life as a married man. With Blow as our surrogate, we see the many sides of Kennedy's personality: the rebel who fearlessly takes on politicians and pundits; the gentleman who sends gracious thank-you notes to his colleagues for their wedding gifts; the vulnerable son occasionally at odds with a mythic family legacy; the leader who stays true to his vision, no matter how difficult the circumstances.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSimply and sympathetically, Blow offers an affecting portrait of a complicated man at last coming into his own -- sometimes gracefully, sometimes under siege, but never without the burden of great expectations.\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"Clapping Pages","offers":[{"title":"Used","offer_id":45204367769786,"sku":"2WSU4X1C1-Used","price":25.0,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0713\/5576\/0826\/files\/smeri.jpg?v=1771162147","url":"https:\/\/clappingpages.com\/products\/american-son-hardcover","provider":"Clapping Pages","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
