Description:
Throughout the 1960s, Robert F. Kennedy personally recorded ideas, ideals, and principles that spoke to his mind and his heart in a private journal like one kept by John F. Kennedy. Now, thirty years after Robert's tragic death, his son Maxwell Taylor Kennedy has opened this journal and curled from his father's speeches to offer us the quintessence of his thought. Filled with energy and insight, Make Gentle the Life of This World is the invigorating and thought-provoking portrait of a mind that shaped a generation and of a man who lived for his country.
Expand description
Whether written in the tumult of his years as Attorney General, in the anguished moments after his brother's assassination, or during the exciting months of his last campaign, Robert F. Kennedy's words are a call for commitment, a reminder of its joys, and an inspiration to act.
Kennedy passionately sought to express the values that surged through his life -- racial justice, the pain of violent crime, fatherhood, family, democracy, leadership, courage, and patriotism. Beautifully illustrated with photos both public and private, some published here for the first time, Make Gentle the Life of This World commemorates how Robert F. Kennedy touched our hearts and energized our lives.
