<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>MacAfee argues that Robert Kennedy's vision for America during the presidential election of 1968--issues of peace, justice, equality and responsibility--are as relevant today as they were then.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>As he campaigned for the presidency in 1968, Robert Kennedy outlined what seems today a redemptive vision for America. Tirelessly, before the kinds of vast crowds reserved for rock stars, RFK articulated with passionate eloquence the disasters of a misguided war, the pain of the dispossessed, and the way out of war and poverty. And then, 81 days into the campaign, he was assassinated. Now, in <i>The Gospel According to RFK</i>, writer Norman MacAfee has brought together for the first time the best of Kennedy's presidential campaign speeches and contributes lively and engaging commentary that makes them fresh, relevant, and especially timely.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"The Democratic Daily"<BR>"The best book for converting your Republican friends to our side: "The Gospel According to RFK" by Norman MacAfee."<br><br>DailyKos<BR>""The Gospel According to RFK: Why it Matters" should be required reading for all of today's progressives (and probably for all high school students)....
