Joseph Kennedy Sr’s father Patrick was the quintessential American rags-to-riches success story, parlaying savings from work as a stevedore into the ownership of a saloon, then another and another and another, rolling the profits into a whisky importation business, holdings in coal mining and banking, and a political career as a state senator and Democratic party power broker. Raised in privilege, enjoying the fruits of his father’s entrepreneurialism, Joe Kennedy was certainly no self-made man.

A ‘made man’, though? Now, that’s more like it.

 

Numerous credible contemporary sources suggest that Joe bootlegged, insider-traded, defrauded and stock-manipulated his way to becoming one of America’s richest and most powerful individuals. Key among them, mid-century American mob supremo Sam ‘Mooney’ Giancana, who called Joe Kennedy “one of the biggest crooks who ever lived.” According to ‘Double Cross’, the biography of Giancana written by his brother Chuck and nephew Sam, the paterfamilias of one of the 20th century’s most famous political dynasties was the Cosa Nostra-approved boss of Boston’s illicit liquor network during Prohibition, a protégé of mafioso Frank Costello.

 

“(Joe) Kennedy’s ties to the underworld intersected at a hundred points,” the book relates. “Besides making a fortune in bootlegging, Kennedy had made a financial killing in Hollywood in the twenties — with the help of persuasive behind-the-scenes New York and Chicago muscle. When Prohibition came to a close, as part of a national agreement between the various bootleggers, Kennedy held onto three of the most lucrative booze distributorships in the country — Gordon’s gin, Dewar’s and Haig & Haig — through his company, Somerset Imports.”

"How far would the brash and ambitious young son of an Irish Catholic saloonkeeper go to prove himself the equal of Boston's disdainful Protestant elite? Joe Kennedy's ruthless and relentless quest for money, power, and above all, social status, began in his early childhood and continued through the final days of his life. This portrait of the man who sired three of America's most important twentieth-century political figures introduces a wealth of new information about Kennedy's questionable financial practices, his Hollywood exploits, his tenure as ambassador to Great Britain, and his very risky relationship with organized crime."–Jacket.
