In his final days, Ted Kennedy worked to finish his memoir, which is entitled True Compass. This is a historic book, as the first ever memoir from a member of the Kennedy family, as well as featuring the life of a man who featured prominently in American Politics.

This autobiography is being released posthumously, as Ted Kennedy was laid to rest just 16 days before the book was released for sale.

The Democratic Representative of Massachusetts, Senator Edward Kennedy spent the last five years of his life working to capture his life through audio and the written word. This is a personal account of his family life, both private and public, and fifty years of his political journey.
