Robert Kennedy And His Times by Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr.
A sweeping, deeply reported biography tracing a charismatic younger brother’s rise from senator to attorney general and presidential contender, charting his evolution from a Cold War hawk to a passionate advocate for civil rights, anti-poverty programs, and social justice. It examines his political strategies, clashes within the Kennedy family and the Democratic Party, his prosecutorial vigor and moral intensity, and the personal contradictions and restless energy that both propelled and undermined him amid the tumultuous 1960s. Weaving public events, private struggles, and extensive research, the book portrays a complex, driven figure whose ambitions and conscience shaped — and were shaped by — an era of profound change.
