I thank NetGalley for the ebook.

Excellent insight into one of America's most intriguing men and political families.

One of the best Kennedy biographies I've read! Despite the prodigious page length Tye's chapters fly, expertly blending Kennedy the figurehead with Kennedy the man. If you've ever felt the Kennedy legacy is too convoluted, this is the book to unpack everything.

I love anything and everything about the Kennedys, so I was ecstatic to read this book. This is probably the best biography of Bobby Kennedy I've read. It's a well-balanced account of his life and rise to power and it shows the inner battle he struggled with between his liberal beliefs and his conservative religious background. This was a very detailed, well-researched book.
