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To capture the full arc of his subject's life, Tye drew on unpublished memoirs, unreleased government files, and 58 boxes of papers that had been under lock and key for the past 40 years.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.

《纽约时报》畅销书作者萨夏带来了对肯尼迪家族中最复杂和争议最大的成员的一部深入、生动且平衡的传记。 历史将罗伯特·F·肯尼迪视为种族调和个人贫穷的支持者，是旧时代的美国政治中的最后一位进步骑士。但肯尼迪在自由主义神殿的地位实际上是旅程的最后一站，这个旅程始于保守派的1950年代。 在鲍比·肯尼迪中，劳瑞·泰揭剥开了神话和误解的层层表象，描绘了这位独特而迷人的人物的完整画像。 为了捕捉他主题人生的全部轨迹，泰用了未出版的回忆录、未解发的政府文件以及过去40年一直锁在箱子里的58个盒子的纸张。他与罗宾斯亲密的朋友进行了数百次访谈——包括鲍比的妻子伊瑟尔、他的妹妹珍妮和他的助手约翰·席格哈尔特——许多人都没有与其他传记作者交谈过。泰决心穿透经常矛盾的意见网，意味着鲍比·肯尼迪将成为一位深受喜爱但往往被误解的男子的第一部全书式传记。 从冷战斗士到激进的自由派人士，鲍比·肯尼迪的变化是一个深刻感人的个人故事，同时也为20世纪最混乱和令人困惑的十年提供了一个视角。罗宾斯早期的职业突出了艾森豪威尔时代的美国面貌，而他作为底层人民的支持者末期则反映了60年代引发的巨大变化。 在肯尼迪家族建功的父亲左右主义思想的滋养下，鲍比·肯尼迪最初以律师的身份为红色恐怖分子参议员乔·麦卡密特工作。最后，在为工薪阶层白人和贫穷的黑人及拉丁美洲人联合起来争取选举联盟中，他进行了一场令人钦佩的竞选活动，似乎有可能重新定义总统政治的脸孔。在许多大事发生时——从古巴比角兵变和古巴导弹危机到种族骚乱和越南战争——他也出现在了所有重要的事件中心。 鲍比·肯尼迪曾是一个拳击手般的特务、一个心机深沉的白宫内行人，也是一位浪漫的梦想家。他曾在不同时期身上都兼而有之这些特质，并在这一部强有力且敏锐的新传记中清晰地展现出来。
