A Common Good by Helen O'donnell
The story of a political and personal friendship unlike any other.
When they first met at Harvard in 1946, young Kenny O'Donnell and Bobby Kennedy could not have imagined where their lives would take them. The friendship they built saw them through some of the most pivotal moments of the twentieth century - including Robert Kennedy's tenure as attorney general and O'Donnell's time spent as John F. Kennedy's chief of staff - and only ended with RFK's tragic death.
With full access to the Kennedy family archives, Helen O'Donnell, daughter of Kenneth, brings a history-making friendship to life for future generations.
Helen O'Donnell is the daughter of John F. Kennedy's top-gun political aide, Kenneth P. O'Donnell. Ms. O'Donnell is the author of A Common Good: The Friendship of Robert F. Kennedy and Kenneth P. O'Donnell. She also worked with Chris Matthews of MSNBC's Hardball on his 2012 book Jack Kennedy: Elusive Hero. She lives in Los Angeles and Washington, DC. Kenneth Kenny O'Donnell, Sr was a war hero and a graduate of Harvard University where he played football with Robert F. Kennedy. Through his relationship with Bobby, he became Jack Kennedy's top political aide during the 1950s. In 1960, he worked hand in glove with Jack and Bobby as they designed and drove the Kennedy Machine to victory.
