Book Reviews of The Last Campaign: Robert F. Kennedy and 82 Days That Inspired America
Book Review: The tears flowed
Summary: 5 Stars
I wasn't prepared for the tears that flowed as I read this book.
Ever since Bobby passed away, I have been saying he was the best President that we never had. This book confirms that belief and, unfortunately, reminds me of what could have been.
The author takes you through the campaign that many (including myself) believed would have made Bobby President. Who can't shed a tear when the result of his assassination was Richard Nixon?
There is a lot or pertinent information regarding the motorcades, the speeches and the people who Bobby met during those extraordinary few months of 1968. The final campaign was indeed a joyous crusade with sad results.
