If you want a cheaper alternative to the collected speeches and writings of RFK, then you should consider buying this book. However, I couldn't possibly recommend this otherwise. While it was great to be able to read the speeches, the "editor" of this book is a rabid anti-GWB leftist who would rather believe in conspiracy theories (judicial coup of the US government) and draw questionable parallels rather than follow the beliefs of RFK. The author is much more interested, seemingly, in using RFK's writing to support their opposition to George Bush rather than actually examining the political ramifications of Kennedy's message.

RFK's words are, as always, inspiring and wonderful. MacAfee's commentary, however, added little in terms of insight, thought, or links to the present as the book's title suggests.

A great read for getting very upset about RFK’s assassination, though it could’ve done without the early 2000s politics references that haven’t aged well
