The Last Campaign by Thurston Clarke

Robert F. Kennedy and 82 Days That Inspired America

A fast-paced narrative of a pivotal 1968 presidential campaign, chronicling the 82-day surge that followed a national tragedy, the candidate’s emotional connection with working-class and minority voters, his evolving stance on Vietnam and social reform, the behind-the-scenes staff dynamics and grassroots energy that propelled unexpected primary wins, and the abrupt, violent end that transformed a promising run into an enduring American political and moral question.
