Details

As a young man, he wanted only to impress his accomplished father and older brothers, but at college he didn't care what anyone thought of him. As John F. Kennedy's campaign manager, Bobby Kennedy was sometimes unscrupulous, yet as an attorney, he brought notorious criminals to justice. While RFK publicly supported the civil rights movement, he also unearthed sordid secrets about Martin Luther King Jr. So who was Robert F. Kennedy, really? Sources and citations. Bibliography.
