One of Ourselves is a skillfully woven complex story about a country, an era, and an Irish-American who had become president of the United States, but had not forgotten his roots. "I want to go to Ireland", he reiterated to his staff - in the end he had his way and had "the three happiest days of my life" as he put it.
With contemporary speeches and comments, oral history interviews, 44 photos, extensive chapter notes, bibliography, and index, One of Ourselves is a worthy addition to public, academic, and personal libraries on Kennedy, US Presidents, and Irish Studies.
Carroll has had a long interest in presidents, dating from his days as a teenaged volunteer in presidential campaigns in the 1960s. As a reporter in Washington, he has covered the administrations of the last four presidents. Ireland likewise has been an abiding passion. He has visited the nation a half dozen times and written news and travel stories from Ireland for American newspapers, as well as reported from Washington on Irish affairs. He and his wife, Carol Vernon, and their daughters Fiona and Brenna, live in Alexandria, Virginia.
