Senator Ted Kennedy's memoir, entitled True Compass, is set to be published Septemper 14:
[Kennedy] kept a personal journal for almost 50 years, beginning with his brother John F. Kennedy's 1960 campaign. In 2004, he started a five-year, comprehensive oral history at the University of Virginia. And for the past two years, he had been writing a confessional autobiography... He completed it this year.Pre-order the book HERE.
For his own work, the Senator was certainly looking beyond a publishing success; his literary efforts were made for posterity. Now, sadly, they'll be posthumous as well.
