Chappaquiddick: Power, Privilege, and the Ted Kennedy Cover-Up Audiobook (Free)

A young woman leaves a celebration with a wealthy US senator. Another morning her person is discovered in his car in the bottom of a fish pond.This is actually the damning true story of the death of campaign strategist Mary Jo Kopechne at Chappaquiddick and of the senator-a thirty-seven-year-old Senator Ted Kennedy-who left her trapped underwater while he returned to his hotel, slept, and made phone calls to associates. It is the tale of a robust, privileged American guy who was in a position to deal with a woman’s life as about Chappaquiddick: Power, Privilege, as well as the Ted Kennedy Cover-Up throw-away without facing actual consequences. Which is the story of the shameful politics cover-up involving among the nation’s most well-connected families and its own network of lawyers, public relations people, and close friends who made certain Ted Kennedy remained a respected person in the Senate for forty even more years.Leo Damore’s 1988 national bestseller, originally entitled Senatorial Privilege, almost didn’t help to make it into printing after its primary publisher, Random Home, judged it as well explosive and backed out of its contract with Damore. Mysteriously, none of the additional big NY publishers picked it up. Only once small independent publisher Regnery acquired the manuscript was the book’s publication made possible and the real story from the so-called “Chappaquiddick incident” finally told. This thirtiethth anniversary edition of Senatorial Privilege is being released to coincide using the nationwide theatrical release of the film Chappaquiddick starring Jason Clarke, Kate Mara, Ed Helms, Bruce Dern, and Jim Gaffigan.
