Summary

On the fiftieth anniversary of Robert Kennedy's death, this collection of his most famous speeches-- accompanied by commentary from notable historians-- presents his vision of America. Through his own words we gain a direct and intimate perspective on Kennedy's views on civil rights and social justice, war and the quest for peace, poverty and the power of work, and the common aspirations that unify us across the divides of race, gender, age, and circumstances
