Kennedy, \"Readers witness the evolution of Kennedy's soul. Through tragedy after tragedy we find the man humanized\" (Associated Press). \u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith his bestselling biography \u003ci\u003eJack Kennedy\u003c\/i\u003e, Chris Matthews profiled of one of America's most beloved Presidents and the patriotic spirit that defined him. Now, with \u003ci\u003eBobby Kennedy\u003c\/i\u003e, Matthews provides \"insight into  Bobby's] spirit and what drove him to greatness\" (\u003ci\u003eNew York Journal of Books\u003c\/i\u003e) in his gripping, in-depth, behind-the-scenes look at one of the great figures of the American twentieth century. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOverlooked by his father, and overshadowed by his war-hero brother, Bobby Kennedy was a perpetual underdog. When he had the chance to become a naval officer like his older brother, Bobby turned it down, choosing instead to join the Navy as a common sailor. It was a life-changing experience that led him to connect with voters from all walks of life: young and old, black and white, rich and poor. They were the people who turned out for him in his 1968 campaign. RFK would prove himself to be the rarest of politicians--both a pragmatist who knew how to get the job done and an unwavering idealist who could inspire millions. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDrawing on extensive research and interviews, Matthews pulls back the curtain on the private world of Robert Francis Kennedy. Matthew illuminates the important moments of his life: from his early years and his start in politics, to his crucial role as attorney general in his brother's administration and, finally, his tragic run for president. This definitive book brings Bobby Kennedy to life like never before.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-222071\"\u003eChris Matthews\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Simon \u0026amp; Schuster\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/16\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 416\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.50w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781501111877\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1501111876\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-BIO\"\u003eBiography \u0026amp; Autobiography\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-BIO010000\"\u003ePolitical\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-HIS\"\u003eHistory\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-HIS036060\"\u003eUnited States | 20th Century\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-POL\"\u003ePolitical Science\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-POL010000\"\u003eHistory \u0026amp; Theory | General\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChris Matthews is the author of the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestsellers \u003ci\u003eBobby Kennedy: A Raging Spirit\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e Jack Kennedy--Elusive Hero\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e Tip and the Gipper--When Politics Worked\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e Kennedy and Nixon\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eHardball. \u003c\/i\u003eHe is the former host of MSNBC's \u003ci\u003eHardball with Chris Matthews\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Simon \u0026 Schuster","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42686636097773,"sku":"9781501111877","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_7ee75d69-20ba-40ec-8a6b-b6da10521996.jpg?v=1649777504","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/bobby-kennedy-a-raging-spirit-9781501111877","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
