One of the most quoted lines in American history is from President John F Kennedy's inauguration in 1961. 'Ask not, what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.'
In this explosive new book, 'Ask Not', Maureen Callahan examines the legacy of the Kennedy family through the lens of numerous women - both in and out of the family - and tells their harrowing tales. This book has raised eyebrows, divided opinion and sparked debate about America's most famous political dynasty.
Jackie Kennedy, Marilyn Monroe and Carolyn Bassett - the late wife of JFK Jr - are the famous faces that grace the cover of this book, but in our conversation we also explored the experiences of women whose names you might not be as familiar with. Of course, in this current political climate, I couldn't miss the opportunity to also speak with her about the complex impact of the family's legacy today, including RFK Jr bid for the presidency.
Though it was a wide ranging conversation, and Maureen answered EVERYTHING I put to her, our chat barely scratches the surface on the allegations brought forward in this book. I hope you'll have a listen to this episode, and as always, decide for yourself what to think.
