More than 48 years since his death, Robert F. Kennedy’s unfinished legacy still inspires our national debate with his words and ideas. Larry Tye has written a balanced biography that examines him and his transformation from 1950s conservative to 1960s liberal icon. Exploiting tireless research and access to new archival material, the author explains with texture and perceptiveness Kennedy’s evolution and why his message still matters.

Readers of prior Robert Kennedy biographies will find the book worthwhile because of Tye’s deft use of 58 boxes of RFK’s papers that were previously unavailable, probing interviews, refusal to airbrush his subject’s flaws, and masterful storytelling. Impressively, the author’s endnotes and bibliography cover 111 pages.
