A decade after his death Robert Kennedy still haunts the American imagination. Born the son of great wealth, dying the tribune of the dispossessed, greatly hated and greatly loved, Robert Kennedy, in his passion, concern and vulnerability, was in Emerson's sense one of the "representative men" of his time. A biography of the Senator who was assassinated in 1968, stressing the public and personal forces and events that shaped his life.
