Dispatches from the Pacific: The World War II Reporting of Robert L. Sherrod by Ray E. Boomhower

heathdwilliams's review

3.0

A missed opportunity - Boomhower is messy with repetitive details (do we really need to be told that Ethel Kennedy is Bobby's wife every time she's mentioned?) and parts of the campaign told un-chronologically without purpose. Despite the flaw's, Kennedy's Indiana campaign is one of the most enduring moments in American politics, and the magic of the story still translates more than 40 years later.
