The Kennedys' Irish Mafia (DVD, 2013) Sealed Brand New

Description: The Kennedys' Irish Mafia (DVD, 2013) Sealed Brand New In the autumn of 1960. John Fitzgerald Kennedy, who's great grandfather, Patrick Kennedy, had left Ireland a little more than a century previously, achieved what no other Catholic had done in America's history, by becoming it's 35th President. To win the 1960 election Kennedy has relied on the support and influence of senior Irish-American politicians and supporters all over the United States. As his administration established itself he began to place trusted allies into key posi- tions in his administration and beyond. They would be with him through thick and thin, through success and failure...and in death. What was known as The Kennedys "Irish Mafia" became the key advisors sur- rounding the President. Men like Dave Powers, Larry O'Brien and Kenny O'Donnell, selected for their loyalty and devotion to JFK and his family. This group helped him win the Presidency, grieved for his passing and provided political support to his successors for decades after his death. The Kennedys Irish Mafia tells the never before told story of the Irish who surrounded the most charismatic political figure of the 20th Century. Who they were, how they supported their leader, and the price some of them paid for this unswerving devotion. The programme features interviews with key witnesses to the Kennedy Presi- dency, professional and amateur archive footage and new scenes of the locations and reminiscences of one of the most remarkable periods in modern history.
