Bobby Kennedy: A Raging Spirit

Bobby Kennedy: A Raging Spirit

In Chris Matthewsâ€™s New York Times bestselling portrait of Robert F. Kennedy, â€œReaders witness the evolution of Kennedyâ€™s soul. Through tragedy after tragedy we find the man humanizedâ€ (Associated Press).

With his bestselling biography Jack Kennedy, Chris Matthews profiled of one of Americaâ€™s most beloved Presidents and the patriotic spirit that defined him. Now, with Bobby Kennedy, Matthews provides â€œinsight into [Bobbyâ€™s] spirit and what drove him to greatnessâ€ (New York Journal of Books) in his gripping, in-depth, behind-the-scenes look at one of the great figures of the American twentieth century.

Overlooked by his father, and overshadowed by his war-hero brother, Bobby Kennedy was a perpetual underdog. When he had the chance to become a naval officer like his older brother, 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 and old, black and white, rich and poor. They were the people who turned out for him in his 1968 campaign. RFK would prove himself to be the rarest of politiciansâ€”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 private world of Robert Francis Kennedy. Matthew illuminates the important moments of his life: from his early years and his start in politics, to his crucial role as attorney general in his brotherâ€™s administration and, finally, his tragic run for president. This definitive book brings Bobby Kennedy to life like never before.
