Robert Kennedy: His Life by Evan Thomas

4.0

I don't read a lot of biographies. And I tend to gravitate toward 19th century history. But this was recommended by a friend and I make it a point to read books I am recommended even if I don't think I'll like it. This book was a pretty even-handed look at RFK. Not a lot of mythologizing and a plenty of warts to go with the good stuff. It;s easy for people to just scoff "Oh, the Kennedys, well, you know how they were." But then they can't exactly tell you how. Great insights.
