I looking for the title of a recent book about the Kennedy family

I think it's fairly new. It focuses on the role that Irish and Irish -American culture played in the Kennedy family. The review I saw said that the author found the family to be more Irish in attitudes and actions than most people realize.

Camelot, our Emerald royalty
New book focuses on Kennedys’ Irish Catholic heritage By Deborah Kalb
So many books have been written about the Kennedy family that authors often seek new ways to slice its history: younger Kennedys, female Kennedys, one particular Kennedy. In his new book, The Kennedys: America’s Emerald Kings, Thomas Maier has chosen to focus on the family’s Irish Catholic background.

“Though some call them ‘America’s royalty,’ a more apt analogy may be the Irish chieftains of old, the kings of an emerald isle who, according to legend, inspired and led large groups of followers,” Maier writes.

Maier retells many Kennedy stories, but through an emerald-green lens, emphasizing anything to do with Irishness or Catholicism. He begins by describing President John F. Kennedy’s 1963 visit to Ireland, during which JFK visited the old family homestead in New Ross — from whence his great-grandfather Patrick Kennedy had voyaged to Boston back in 1848.
