Schlesinger Jr. chronicles the short life of the Kennedy family s second presidential hopeful in a story that leaves the reader aching for what cannot be recaptured (Miami Herald). Schlesinger s account vividly recalls the forces that shaped Robert Kennedy from his position as the third son of a powerful Irish Catholic political clan to his concern for issues of social justice in the turbulent 1960s. ROBERT KENNEDY AND HIS TIMES is a picture of a deeply compassionate man hiding his vulnerability drawn to the underdogs and the unfortunates in society by his life experiences and sufferings (Los Angeles Times).
