Foreign Book - Senatorial Privilege The Chappaquiddick Cover-Up Author: Leo Damore Collection: ISBN: Release Date: 1988 Pages: Hard Cover Language: English Condition: Good Publisher: Regnery Gateway Literary Genre: The book reveals the behind-the-scenes details of the Chappaquiddick incident—the controversial car crash on July 18, 1969, in which influential U.S. Senator Ted Kennedy drove his vehicle off a bridge on Chappaquiddick Island, resulting in the drowning of young campaign strategist Mary Jo Kopechne. The investigation details the following key points: Leaving the Scene: It reveals Ted Kennedy’s actions—returning to his hotel to sleep and contact his associates instead of reporting the accident immediately, leaving the young woman trapped underwater. Abuse of Power: It analyzes how the influential and well-connected Kennedy family used their extensive network of lawyers, advisors, and public relations agents to smother and control the case. Obstruction of Justice: It exposes how official investigations and legal proceedings were strategically manipulated to protect the senator’s career and political future. Central Testimony: It is based on exclusive interviews and statements, highlighting the accounts of Joseph Gargan (Kennedy’s cousin), who confessed how he initially helped manage the crisis before deciding to reveal the truth to the author. The work serves as a scathing critique of political privilege and impunity, illustrating the human and institutional price of one of the most infamous cover-ups in U.S. political history.
