"A stunning, heartbreaking book, a reminder--which we badly need these days--of just how noble public life can be.

This is a book worthy of the man and that moment, an honorable and unforgettable piece of work.The Last Campaignshould be required reading for anyone seeking public office, and for the rest of us, too."-Joe Klein "The Last Campaignis a great read, an evocative and engaging reminder of the glory and the tragedy of Bobby Kennedy's run for the presidency in 1968. Thurston Clarke's keen eye for the telling detail and his fast-paced narrative makeThe Last Campaigna must-have for any student of American politics."-Tom Brokaw "The Last Campaignis a triumphant look at Robert F. Kennedy's heartfelt plunge into the poverty underbelly of America. The reader can't help but be moved at how deeply Kennedy cared about the underclass. Thurston Clarke has written a smart political book which actually inspires."-Douglas Brinkley "The Last Campaignis a magnificent account of the final months in the life of a man who changed so many of us, and the brilliantly told story of a campaign that broke our hearts."-E.J. Dionne, author ofSouled Out: Reclaiming Faith and Politics After the Religious Right "Tremendously moving….Clarke compellingly recreates this "huge, joyous adventure"….Kennedy's gradual but determined evolution into a fearless, formidable, winning candidate makes stupendous reading.

Synopsis
Clarke provides an absorbing historical narrative of the action-packed 82 days of Robert Kennedy's presidential campaign as well as the heightened personal, racial, and political dramas of the time., The definitive account of Robert Kennedy's exhilarating and tragic 1968 campaign for president--a revelatory history that is especially resonant now After John F. Kennedy's assassination, Robert Kennedy--formerly Jack's no-holds-barred political warrior--almost lost hope. He was haunted by his brother's murder, and by the nation's seeming inabilities to solve its problems of race, poverty, and the war in Vietnam. Bobby sensed the country's pain, and when he announced that he was running for president, the country united behind his hopes. Over the action-packed eighty-two days of his campaign, Americans were inspired by Kennedy's promise to lead them toward a better time. And after an assassin's bullet stopped this last great stirring public figure of the 1960s, crowds lined up along the country's railroad tracks to say goodbye to Bobby. With new research, interviews, and an intimate sense of Kennedy, Thurston Clarke provides an absorbing historical narrative that goes right to the heart of America's deepest despairs--and most fiercely held dreams--and tells us more than we had understood before about this complicated man and the heightened personal, racial, political, and national dramas of his times.
