Robert F. Kennedy, apostle of change

About this book

Robert F. Kennedy: Apostle of Change is a review, largely in his own words, of the public record of Robert Francis Kennedy, the man who polarized American public opinion to an extent unmatched by any recent major political figure. What manner of man was this younger brother of John F. Kennedy? What were his positions on the important domestic and international issues of our day? Were the changes in his outlook over the past few years the result of honest growth? He ignited the imagination of many with statements that were frequently controversial, sometimes daring or even radical. He aroused many to feelings of blind adoration and vindictive hatred - often without knowledge or reason. This is a careful review of the meanings and legacies of a dynamic political figure who, but for an assassin's bullet, might have been President of the United States. For the past several years, Douglas Ross has worked and lived with the speeches, statements, books, and positions of Robert F. Kennedy. Robert F. Kennedy: Apostle of Change was initiated late in 1966 in an attempt to review and present Robert F. Kennedy's public record for use in this current election year. The work became more comprehensive; its importance grew, and one delivery date after another was by-passed.
