The Unfinished Odyssey of Robert Kennedy: A Biography

The Unfinished Odyssey of Robert Kennedy: A Biography

An illuminating and comprehensive look at the remarkableâ€”and tragically shortenedâ€”career of one of Americaâ€™s most promising leaders

Structured around the 1968 Democratic presidential campaign, The Unfinished Odyssey of Robert Kennedy offers an in-depth exploration of Robert Kennedy, both as a man and a politician.
Â
Kennedyâ€™s mass appeal to minority groups, his antiwar stance, and his support from Catholics made him unlike any other politician of his stature in the late 1960s. Acclaimed journalist David Halberstam dives into Kennedyâ€™s career, covering his work as US attorney general and campaign manager for his brother John, his run for a New York state senate seat, and his candidacy in the 1968 Democratic presidential primary. Through this crucial period, he charts Kennedyâ€™s evolution as one of the nationâ€™s most clear-headed progressives, ultimately revealing a man whoâ€”even nowâ€”personifies the shift toward a more equal America.
Â
This ebook features an illustrated biography of David Halberstam including rare images from the authorâ€™s estate.
