But Ted Kennedy, the gregarious, pudgy, and least academically successful of the Kennedy boys, became the most powerful senator of the last half century and the nation's keeper of traditional liberalism. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs Peter S. Canellos and his team of \u003ci\u003eBoston Globe \u003c\/i\u003ereporters show in this intimate biography, Ted witnessed greater tragedy and suffered greater pressure than his siblings. He inherited a generation's dreams and ambitions, and was expected to help confront his nation's problems and to build a fairer society. But political rivals turned his all-too-human failings into a condemnation of his liberal politics. As the presidency eluded his grasp, Kennedy was finally free to become his own man. He transformed himself into a symbol of wisdom and perseverance. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNow, in two new chapters, \u003ci\u003eLast Lion \u003c\/i\u003ereveals how Kennedy battled cancer while helping Barack Obama bring about the biggest reform of health care in the nation's history, and how he said good-bye to his family, friends, and enemies. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePerceptive and carefully reported, drawing from candid interviews with the Kennedy family, \u003ci\u003eLast Lion \u003c\/i\u003ecaptures magnificently the life, historic achievements, and personal redemption of Ted Kennedy, and offers a fresh assessment of his enduring legacy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-4635568\"\u003ePeter S.
