Sample Book Insights:
#1 On March 16, 1968, Robert Francis Kennedy, the junior Senator for New York, announced his candidacy for the presidency in the same room as John F. Kennedy did eight years earlier. He was criticized for being a coward for not running against Johnson and McCarthy.
#2 In February 1968, the Tet Offensive, a series of attacks by North Vietnamese forces against American military and civilian command centers, shocked the American public. The war was becoming increasingly unpopular with the American electorate.
#3 Bobby was convinced that four more years of LBJ was an insupportably high price to pay for his own doubts. He told his advisors that Johnson was not going to do anything about the war or the cities. He was duty-bound to run, as the keeper of his brother's legacy.
#4 Bobby was a key figure in televised hearings examining McCarthy and Cohn's conduct. The sessions boosted his public reputation while destroying those of the Senator and his counsel.
