罗伯特·肯尼迪:一位自由派偶像的塑造(有声书)
From the New York Times best-selling author of Satchel comes an in-depth, vibrant, and measured biography of the most complex and controversial member of the Kennedy family.
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To capture the full arc of his subject's life, Tye drew on unpublished memoirs, unreleased government files, and 58 boxes of papers that had been under lock and key for the past 40 years.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 20th-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 McCarthy. 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 redraw the face of presidential politics. Along the way he turned up at the center of every event that mattered, from the Bay of Pigs and the Cuban Missile Crisis to race riots and Vietnam.
Bare-knuckle operative, cynical White House insider, romantic visionary - Bobby Kennedy was all of these things at one time or another, and each of these aspects of his personality emerges in this powerful and perceptive new biography.
《来自纽约时报畅销书作家萨夏的是一部深入、生动且平衡肯尼迪家族中最复杂和争议成员的传记。》 历史记住了罗伯特·F·肯尼迪,他是种族调停者、贫穷者的传声筒,是过去美国政治时期的最后一位进步骑士。但肯尼迪在自由派神殿中的安放其实是旅程最终阶段,该旅程始于保守的20世纪50年代。在鲍比·肯尼迪中,劳瑞·泰揭开了神话和误解层层叠嶂,描绘出这个独特迷人人物的一幅完整画作。 为了捕捉他主题生命的全貌,泰利用未出版的回忆录、未公开的政府文件以及过去40年锁着的58箱文件。他与罗伯特·肯尼迪亲密的朋友进行了数百次采访——包括罗宾的遗孀伊莎贝尔;她的妹妹珍妮;和他的助手约翰·塞吉瑟尔——其中许多人从未向其他传记作者说过话。泰决心拨开经常矛盾的意见之间的纠缠,因此鲍比·肯尼迪将作为深受爱戴的一个人但常常被误解的男人的最终一卷权威传记。 鲍比·肯尼迪从冷战士兵到热情激进派的转变是一个深深打动人心的个人故事,也提供了一个观察20世纪最混乱和令人困惑的十年的视角。罗宾·肯尼迪职业生涯的一半勾勒出艾森豪威尔时代的美国模样;他作为下层阶级的捍卫者最后几年反映出60年代地震般的改变。在父亲的右翼正统观念下成长,鲍比·肯尼迪开始他的公众生涯担任反共参议员约瑟夫·麦卡蒂特的支持顾问。他以一场崇高的竞选活动为终点,这个竞选活动旨在团结工人阶级白人与贫穷的黑人和拉丁裔人民,在一个似乎准备重新绘制总统政治面貌的政治联盟中。 在每个重要事件中心——从古巴礁湖行动、古巴导弹危机到种族骚乱和越南战争。鲍比·肯尼迪一度是铁腕特务,冷酷白宫内鬼,浪漫理想主义者。罗宾·肯尼迪曾一度是这些角色中的任何一个,在这部强大且敏锐的新传记中都清晰可见。
