Paperback. Condición: Good. With rich detail, compelling honesty, and a storyteller's gift, RFK Jr. describes his life growing up Kennedy in a tumultuous time in history that eerily echoes the issues of nuclear confrontation, religion, race, and inequality that we confront today. "With emotion and striking detail, RFK Jr. recalls both the private joys and very public pain of his childhood."-- Independent Catholic News In this powerful book that combines the best aspects of memoir and political history, the third child of Attorney General Robert Kennedy and nephew of JFK takes us on an intimate journey through his life, including watershed moments in the history of our nation. Stories of his grandparents Joseph and Rose set the stage for their nine remarkable children, among them three U.S. senators--Teddy, Bobby, and Jack--one of whom went on to become attorney general, and the other, the president of the United States. We meet Allen Dulles and J. Edgar Hoover, two men whose agencies posed the principal threats to American democracy and values. We live through the Cuban Missile Crisis, when insubordinate spies and belligerent generals in the Pentagon and Moscow brought the world to the cliff edge of nuclear war. At Hickory Hill in Virginia, where RFK Jr. grew up, we encounter the celebrities who gathered at the second most famous address in Washington, members of what would later become known as America's Camelot. Through his father's role as attorney general we get an insider's look as growing tensions over civil rights led to pitched battles in the streets and 16,000 federal troops were called in to enforce desegregation at Ole Miss. We see growing pressure to fight wars in Southeast Asia to stop communism. We relive the assassination of JFK, RFK's run for the presidency that was cut short by his own death, and the aftermath of those murders on the Kennedy family. RFK Jr. also shares his own experiences, not just with historical events and the movers who shaped them but also with his mother and father, with his own struggles with addiction, and with the ways he eventually made peace with both his Kennedy legacy and his own demons. A lyrically written book that provides insight, hope, and steady wisdom for Americans as they wrestle, as never before, with questions about America's role in history and the world and what it means to be American. This intimate journey through the Kennedy family legacy reveals: A Kennedy Family History: Go beyond the headlines to the private world of Hickory Hill and Hyannisport, witnessing the complex dynamics between Joseph and Rose Kennedy and their nine remarkable children--including JFK, RFK, and Teddy. The Cuban Missile Crisis: Experience the heart-pounding tension of the Cold War from an insider's perspective, as insubordinate spies and generals bring the world to the brink of nuclear war. The Fight for Civil Rights: Gain an intimate look at RFK's role as attorney general during the pitched battles for desegregation, including the federal showdown at Ole Miss. An Unflinching Personal Story: Follow RFK Jr.'s courageous journey as he confronts his own demons, battles addiction, and ultimately makes peace with a towering family legacy.…
