Story4.5 out of 5 stars 250
Traditionally, Robert F. Kennedy has been viewed as either the "Good Bobby", who saw wrong and tried to right it, or the "Bad Bobby" of countless conspiracy theories. Evan Thomas' achievement is to realize RFK as a human being, to bring to life an extraordinarily complex man who was at once kind and cruel, devious and honest, fearful and brave. The portrait that emerges is unvarnished but sympathetic, packed with new details about Kennedy's early life and his behind-the-scenes machinations.

Excellent even handed review
Reviewed: 10-15-20
Thomas book is an excellent evenhanded review of RFK I’ve read many hero worshiping books of RFK this one shows him warts and all. Interesting bios of the Giants of the time LBJ, King, Hoover, JFK.
