Specificatii
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - From the author of Satchel comes an
in-depth, vibrant, and measured biography about the most complex
and controversial member of the Kennedy family. NAMED ONE OF THE
BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY THE WASHINGTON POST History remembers
Robert F. Kennedy as a racial healer, a tribune for the poor, and
the last progressive knight of a bygone era of American politics.
But Kennedy's enshrinement in the liberal pantheon was actually the
final stage of a journey that had its beginnings in the
conservative 1950s. In Bobby Kennedy, Larry Tye peels away layers
of myth and misconception to paint a complete portrait of this
singularly fascinating figure. To capture the full arc of his
subject's life, Tye draws on unpublished memoirs, unreleased
government files, and fifty-eight boxes of papers that had been
under lock and key for the past forty years. He conducted hundreds
of interviews with RFK intimates--including Bobby's widow, Ethel,
his sister Jean, and his aide John Siegenthaler--many of whom have
never spoken to another biographer. Tye's determination to sift
through the tangle of often contradictory opinions means that Bobby
Kennedy will stand as the definitive one-volume biography of a man
much beloved, but just as often misunderstood. Bobby Kennedy's
transformation from cold warrior to fiery liberal is a profoundly
moving personal story that also offers a lens onto two of the most
chaotic and confounding decades of twentieth-century American
history. The first half of RFK's career underlines what the country
was like in the era of Eisenhower, while his last years as a
champion of the underclass reflect the seismic shifts wrought by
the 1960s. Nurtured on the rightist orthodoxies of his
dynasty-building father, Bobby Kennedy began his public life as
counsel to the red-baiting senator Joseph Mc Carthy. He ended it
with a noble campaign to unite working-class whites with poor
blacks and Latinos in an electoral coalition that seemed poised to
