Catching the Wind: Edward Kennedy and the Liberal Hour, 1932-1975

New York Times Notable Book“One of the truly great biographies of our time.” (Sean Wilentz, New York Times best- selling author of Bob Dylan in America and The Rise of American Democracy) “A landmark study of Washington power politics in the 20th century in the Robert Caro tradition.” (Douglas Brinkley, New York Times best-selling author of American Moonshot)The epic, definitive biography of Ted Kennedy— an immersive journey through the life of a complicated man and a sweeping history of the fall of liberalism and the collapse of political morality.

Catching the Wind is the first volume of Neal Gabler’ s magisterial two-volume biography of Edward Kennedy.

It is at once a human drama, a history of American politics in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, and a study of political morality and the role it played in the tortuous course of liberalism.
