Robert Kennedy
Robert Kennedy: His Life | Evan Thomas
5 posts | 2 read | 1 reading | 5 to read
He was "Good Bobby," who, as his brother Ted eulogized him, "saw wrong and tried to right it . . . saw suffering and tried to heal it." And "Bad Bobby," the ruthless and manipulative bully of countless conspiracy theories. Thomas's unvarnished but sympathetic and fair-minded portrayal is packed with new details about Kennedy's early life and his behind-the-scenes machinations, including new revelations about the 1960 and 1968 presidential campaigns, the Cuban Missile Crisis, and his long struggles with J. Edgar Hoover and Lyndon Johnson.

The only #Boston related books I've read are about the Kennedys or the Red Sox.

Shortly after midnight on 6/5/1968, Sen. Robert Kennedy was shot at the Ambassador Hotel. He died 25 hours later, on June 6. RFK - haunted, searching, channeling grief and pain into boldness - is my favorite of the Kennedys and I always wonder (like Jeff Greenfield) what could have been.

affiknitty Ooh, I'll have to look for that Greenfield book! 8y
brendanmleonard @affiknitty He's actually really good at writing alternate fiction! He has an ebook about the 2000 election about what if Gore won. 8y
Leelee08 I'm a Kennedy fan, too! RFK was always my favorite, and I've had that Evan Thomas book for years. It's one of my faves. 😀😀😀 8y
