Description: "Robert Kennedy and His Times" by Arthur Schlesinger is an in-depth biography that chronicles the life of Robert F. Kennedy, set against the backdrop of mid-20th century America. Schlesinger explores Kennedy's early years in a politically active and influential family, his education at Harvard and the University of Virginia School of Law, and his initial foray into public service. As Attorney General under his brother John F. Kennedy’s presidency, Robert took a firm stand against organized crime and was a passionate advocate for civil rights, playing a crucial role in enforcing desegregation in the South and supporting the civil rights movement. The biography also delves into Robert Kennedy's transformation following his brother’s assassination, highlighting his evolving views on social justice, poverty, and the Vietnam War. His tenure as a Senator for New York saw him championing the causes of the marginalized and oppressed, gaining a reputation for his compassion and commitment to progressive change. Schlesinger paints a picture of a complex, driven individual whose political career was tragically cut short by his assassination in 1968, yet left a lasting impact on American politics and society.
