Summary: NICE INTRO
Review: Robert Kennedy was my very first hero as a child. This book for young readers will, I hope, introduce the succeeding generations to the man who would be president in 1968.I like the way the author highlights the salient points of the late Senator's life. Although this is not a comprehensive biography even for young standards, the author does a credible job of presenting the Senator in a favorable light. I was especially pleased that the Senator's focus on civil rights issues was emphasized. As with any work on Robert Kennedy, the reader is left with the aching, gaping question of what would have transpired in the intervening years had this good man been elected president in 1968.
