Amazon Best of the Month, June 2008: When Senator Robert F. Kennedy entered the presidential race during the chaotic year of 1968, anarchy appeared to be gathering on the horizon. America was coming to grips with an unwinnable war in Vietnam and unacceptable social policies at home. The Last Campaign examines Kennedy’s bold (and tragically shortened) efforts to awaken his country’s social conscience and moral sensibility. In contrast to the cocksure attitude of Thirteen Days (RFK’s own 1962 memoir of the Cuban Missile Crisis), Thurston Clarke reveals a very human politician w
