Lessons from Bobby: Ten Reasons Robert F. Kennedy Still Matters

Description

From the host of Hardball with Chris Matthews (now on Substack) and acclaimed Kennedy biographer comes a centennial tribute about why Robert F. Kennedy’s revolutionary vision offers the roadmap America needs today.

100 years after his birth, Bobby Kennedy matters more than ever. That is because he led us in pursuit of America’s ideals. He took risks for peace and united a fractured country. He showed moral courage and political bravery. In today’s bitterly divided nation, his message has the power to help us reimagine a better future.

On the historic occasion of Bobby Kennedy’s centennial, Chris Matthews, one of America’s foremost political commentators and Kennedy biographers, gives us ten electrifying lessons for today drawn from Bobby’s life. Take them as a guide. America is great when it tries, at its best, to be good.

This special anniversary book also includes a selection of Bobby Kennedy’s greatest speeches, which, when read today, offer a renewed and inspiring vision for America.
