Rooted in Irish history and immigration, The Man who Loved Kennedy deals with an Irish-American activist who stood on the front lines of the War on Poverty in the 1960s and 70s. The book pays tribute to one man’s journey of compassion through social action. Ned Coll was 23 years old when John F. Kennedy was assassinated. The words Ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country, from John F. Kennedy’s inauguration speech, so moved Coll he left Hartford’s corporate world. With the help of Robert F. Kennedy and other notables, Coll fathered the Revitalization Corps, a domestic Peace Corps and dedicated it to the fallen president.
