Acerca de esta escucha

A revealing new portrait of Robert F. Kennedy that gets closer to the man than any book before, by best-selling author Chris Matthews, an esteemed Kennedy expert and anchor of MSNBC's Hardball.

With his best-selling biography Jack Kennedy, Chris Matthews shared a new look at one of America's most beloved presidents and the patriotic spirit that defined him. Now, with Bobby Kennedy, Matthews returns with a gripping, in-depth, behind-the-scenes portrait of one of the great figures of the American 20th century.

Overlooked by his father and overshadowed by his war hero brother, Bobby Kennedy was the perpetual underdog. When he had the chance to become a naval officer like Jack, Bobby turned it down, choosing instead to join the navy as a common sailor. It was a life-changing experience that led him to connect with voters from all walks of life: young or old, black or white, rich or poor. They were the people who turned out for him in his 1968 campaign. RFK would prove himself to be the rarest of politicians - both a pragmatist who knew how to get the job done and an unwavering idealist who could inspire millions.

Drawing on extensive research and interviews, Matthews pulls back the curtain on the public and private worlds of Robert Francis Kennedy. He shines a light on all the important moments of his life, from his early years and his start in politics to his crucial role as attorney general in his brother's administration and his tragic run for president. This definitive book brings Bobby Kennedy to life like never before and is destined to become a political classic.

Moving

I was too young to understand all that was happening during this time frame. I would have to say when it was as done I cried. I do not think there are any more Bobbies. We need a Bobbie right now.

Moral convictions

Incredible recount of a man with strong character and ethics. Something missing in our political climate today.

Brings back memories

Chris Matthews is obviously passionate about his subject and I am too. I became involved with politics after meeting "Bob" once in Brighton Beach NY and am sad that the world was forever changed by his loss.

The Difference

the best line in this book was at the end ,understanding the difference between "personal and political loyalty" our country could use another Spirit like Robert Kennedy, especially during these timse of such political corruption and lack of understanding for the importance of the highest office in this country. thank you mr. Matthews for writing this book. It's a must-read.

We need another Bobbie.

What a great book Chris. I was raised in the 60s and remember him well watching all the TV coverage. I loved him then and he's still on a pedestal for me. thanks Chris, for filling in a lot of blanks.

Horrible Audiobook, Fine Read

The author of this book is both a truly insufferable narrator (I found myself ramping up the speed to make up for his meandering way of narration) as well as someone desperately attempting to place himself into the story of RFK, creating somewhat false parallels between the two men. RFK is undoubtedly a great man, but this book fails to truly capture a fuller picture of the man as human and elevates him nearly beyond reproach. As Ted once said, he “need not be idealized, or enlarged in death beyond what he was in life; to be remembered simply as a good and decent man, who saw wrong and tried to right it, saw suffering and tried to heal it, saw war and tried to stop it.” - I wouldn’t classify this as a pure biography with the inclusion of autobiographical information from the author, but a fine primer on RFK himself.
