The Kennedy Clan

This is the beginning of a three-volume series about the American Kennedy clan. Long before John F. Kennedy became President of the United States, his father Joseph P. Kennedy began planning his entry into politics. As a businessman, he aimed to become the first Catholic president of the USA. However, Roosevelt feared the competition and sent him as ambassador to Great Britain in 1938, where he became embroiled in the turmoil of World War II. This comic series chronicles the exciting rise of an entire family to the highest echelons of world politics.

Excitingly told, historically accurate

Erik Varekamp and Mick Peet have experience with historical subjects and skillfully adapt the story of the Kennedy clan into a comic format. Engagingly narrated yet always based on facts, they tell the story of one of the most colorful families in American politics. The volume is rounded off with a detailed historical epilogue that places the events in the comic within a larger context.
