Recenzii
Bohrer's book, which covers the period of RFK's life from November 1963 to June 1966, is tightly packed with detail, much of it fascinating and even moving. It will satisfy the Kennedy true believers and interest students of politics.
The bookshelves already groan with Kennedy titles, but Mr. Bohrer makes a worthy contribution by examining a critical chapter in Robert Kennedy's public life, the period from 1963 to 1966 . . . Mr. Bohrer ably captures Kennedy at his lowest moment, far from Camelot, as he traveled the world, took public-speaking lessons, overcame his fear of crowds and grappled with JFK's legacy.
This well-researched narrative details Robert Kennedy's life in the three years that followed his brother John's assassination, as he grappled with extreme grief, competed with his rival Lyndon B. Johnson, and tried to figure out his next political move.
Mr. Bohrer proves that the personal is political, showing readers how Bobby Kennedy's evolution from shadow to savior was, in fact, revolutionary. how Bobby Kennedy, who aged a lifetime in three years, grew from the president's brother to a man who might have become the president himself.
Jack Bohrer has brought us a new, vivid and absorbing look at Robert Kennedy's surprising transformation into the audacious hero exalted by American progressives today.
A fascinating study of a man whose political journey was as complex as he was. Bohrer puts us right there in the swirl of history, capturing the soft-hearted and hard-headed idealism that convinced generations of Americans of our own capacity to push the world to where it should be.
In this elegant and meticulously-researched book, John R. Bohrer recounts RFK's three years after his brother's 1963 assassination and illuminates the many crossroads he faced in becoming his own man. This book makes Kennedy's personal and public crucible come alive with a host of unforgettable characters.
Bobby Kennedy's journey between JFK's assassination and his own is one of the most remarkable political transformations in American history. For anyone inspired by the passion and courage revealed in RFK's final years, Jack Bohrer brilliantly captures Kennedy's evolution from political hatchet man to becoming the compassionate hero who still inspires the world a half century later.
Jack Bohrer has brought us a meticulously researched and vividly detailed account of the period when Bobby Kennedy, the President's brother, became Robert F. Kennedy, a giant in his own right. As Bohrer movingly chronicles, RFK demonstrated a capacity for leadership, courage and idealism our politicians would do well to summon today.
Fast-paced and full of new detail, Bohrer's reevaluation of RFK's wandering years signals the arrival of an unusually gifted writer and historian.
Bohrer is a beautiful writer . . . this is an exceptional book . . . I would strongly recommend it without reservation.
