Über diesen Titel
With rich detail, compelling honesty, and a storyteller’s gift, RFK Jr. describes growing up Kennedy in a tumultuous time in history that eerily echoes the issues of nuclear confrontation, religion, race, and inequality that we confront today.
This powerful book combines the best aspects of memoir and political history. The third child of Attorney General Robert Kennedy and nephew of JFK takes us on a journey through his life, including watershed moments in the history of our nation.
These pages come vividly to life with intimate stories of RFK Jr.’s own experiences, not just with historical events and the movers who shaped them, but also with his mother and father, his own struggles with addiction, and the ways he eventually made peace with both his Kennedy legacy and his own demons. The result is a book that is remarkably stirring and relevant, providing both insight and hope for all Americans at a time when they are needed like never before.
This wonderfully entertaining, inspiring, dramatic family history as recalled by young RFK jr. and his later research as an adult, provides us with much appreciated understanding and resolution of many vacuums of world history and political behind the curtain understanding.
Told from an insiders view, the reader will experience many "aha thats what went on" and "ah of course, that makes sense, and this is how it connects to..." moments as he gets a glimpse into how things took place on higher political levels of human affairs during those very important historical moments.
From the first and second world wars to Castros Cuba, cold war crisis, socialism, liberalism, capitalism, imperialism, internal struggles with US agencies, the mob, industrial complexes and totalitarianism, corruption, class wars, populism, presidential campaigning and work, and in all of those - the real-time choice of battle for higher good and the representation to lift America to its world leading ideals of freedom, opportunity and civil rights.
All told in a seamlessly connected way with personal portraits of notable political and historical figures described in depth, with their interactions amongst each other and their final outcomes on the world stage.
Finally and most importantly, as a total product of it all, one leaves gifted with self-produced insight and inspiration of the connectedness of all things, from the individual to the world, and of living a life of virtue and in strive of higher ideals. And to embrace those ideals especially when confronted with cynical, dark and daunting forces. A recipe I believe, for a life well lived. A spiritual philosophy of good in the face of evil that the Kennedy's clearly practised, shaped their character's, inspired generations and rose to god-given responsibility & power with.
Global history, admirable biographies and living in virtue
