Bobby Kennedy: A Raging Spirit by Chris Matthews
1.0
So this book is genuinely not that good or groundbreaking. I recommend Bobby Kennedy: The Making of a Liberal Icon for a better look at Bobby Kennedy.
A Raging Spirit really praises the ground Bobby walks upon and I found it a bit weak writing overall. I did like how it focused a bit more on the interpersonal relationships between Bobby and Ted Kennedy and how Edward advised Bobby not to run. It made Bobby out to be more of a smooth operator and hyped up his efforts to assisting in civil rights. It made allowances for RFK namely in Vietnam, like he wanted to help France, yes, but not by sending troops into the country unlike LBJ.
