Reviews"Bold, brave and original, Ask Not takes a sledgehammer to the myth of Camelot. This is an unforgettable book--a necessary reckoning that will forever change the way I view modern American history."-- Susannah Cahalan, author of The Great Pretender and the #1 New York Times bestseller Brain on Fire, "It is practically the birthright of every American to have a fascination with the Kennedys--and the infamous Kennedy curse. Maureen Callahan does us one better, stripping away the veneer of Camelot to present a searing, no holds barred account of scandal by zeroing in on the numerous destructions wrought by generations of Kennedy men against the women in their orbit. There are revelations about Jackie Kennedy, Rosemary Kennedy, and Carolyn Bessette, of course, but also about the various crimes committed against women outside the family too, including famous figures, like Marilyn Monroe, and lesser known individuals, like Martha Moxley."-- Town & Country

SynopsisINSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER #1 SUNDAY TIMES (UK) BESTSELLER " The must-read book of the summer" (Megyn Kelly) from New York Times bestseller Maureen Callahan: a "harrowing, incendiary" exposé of the real Kennedy Curse--the family's generations-long legacy of misogyny, murder, and mayhem (Karen Abbott). The Kennedy name has long been synonymous with wealth, power, glamor, and--above all else-- integrity . But this carefully constructed veneer hides a dark truth: the pattern of Kennedy men physically and psychologically abusing women and girls, leaving a trail of ruin and death in each generation's wake. Through decades of scandal after scandal--from sexual assaults to reputational slander, suicides to manslaughter--the family and their defenders have kept the Kennedy brand intact. Now, in Ask Not , bestselling author and journalist Maureen Callahan reveals the Kennedys' hidden history of violence and exploitation, laying bare their unrepentant sexism and rampant depravity while also restoring these women and girls to their rightful place at the center of the dynasty's story: from Jacqueline Onassis and Marilyn Monroe to Carolyn Bessette, Martha Moxley, Mary Jo Kopechne, Rosemary Kennedy, and many others whose names aren't nearly as well known but should be. Drawing on years of explosive reportage and written in electric prose, Ask Not is a long-overdue reckoning with this fabled family and a consequential part of American history that is still very much with us. At long last, Callahan redirects the spotlight to the women in the Kennedys' orbit, paying homage to those who freed themselves and giving voice to those who, through no fault of their own, could not. One of Town & Country 's Must-Read Books of Summer 2024

So Obvious The Author Hates Kennedy Men
The contempt the author has for the Kennedy men is evident on pretty much every page. It's like reading several National Enquirer stories. Something to do but not fair and balanced.

This book destroys many illusions I have had about the Kennedy family. The men have done many good things for this country, but they had the morals of a sewer rat. Hard to put this book down!

The truth is a must, even when we don't like it
Great writing of a sad, but under-reported story that Americans should know to be better citizens. If we don't hold our leaders accountable, what do we have?
