The Last Campaign: Robert F. Kennedy and 82 Days That Inspired America by Thurston Clarke

5.0

This book is clearly the authority on Kennedy's campaign. It clearly details the issues, the events, the speeches, everything that could come into play during a campaign for the presidency. I think what struck me most is, beyond the message that Kennedy tried so hard to bring to the American people, the way in which Kennedy's campaign was really the last campaign of its kind and not just the last campaign Kennedy ever undertook. The changes between his campaign and those we see today are striking to say the least. I also have to applaud this book for the way it handles the final days of Kennedy's life and reviews what could have been. Thurston Clarke's work is a must have for anyoneinterested in the topic of RFK.
