This week, Alyson spoke with author Neal Thompson about his new book, “The First Kennedys: The Humble Roots of an American Dynasty”. 

“Here is that rare thing: an untold chapter in the Kennedy saga. Neal Thompson has given us a compelling and illuminating book about one of the most important families in our history—a family that represents so much about America then. And now.” 
—Jon Meacham, Pulitzer Prize winner and #1 New York Times best-selling author of Thomas Jefferson: The Art of Power
