Sarge: The Life and Times of Sargent Shriver
- Scott Stossel
- biography
- celebrity
Working for four presidents over six decades, R. Sargent â€œSargeâ€ Shriver founded the Peace Corps, launched the War on Poverty, created Head Start and Legal Services for the Poor, started the Special Olympics, and served as ambassador to France. Yet from the moment he married Joseph P. Kennedyâ€™s daughter Eunice in 1953, Shriver had to navigate a difficult course between independence and family loyalty that tended to obscure his incredible achievements.

Scott Stossel, through complete access to Shriver and his family, renders the story of his life in cinematic detail. Shriverâ€™s myriad historical legacies are testaments to the power of his vision and his ability to inspire others. But it is the colorful personality and indomitable spirit of the man himselfâ€”traits that allowed him to survive the Depression, WWII, and the Kennedy familyâ€”that will inspire readers today to expand the â€œhorizons of the possible.â€
