Zusammenfassung:The seventh of Rose Fitzgerald and Joseph P. Kennedy's nine children, Robert F. Kennedy once remarked that "When you come from that far down, yuou have to struggle to survive." In a gripping and insightful biography, Arlene Schulman traces Kennedy's struggle from his early years as a quiet and unassuming student to his untimely death in 1968. Highlighted is Kennedy's role as U.S. attorney general, the youngest appoiontee in 150 years; as senator from New York; and as advocate for African Americans and other minorities. The major political events of brother John F. Kennedy's administration and of the turbulent 1960s are also discussed, including the civil rights movement, the Vietnam War, and social protest movements.
