In Chris Matthews's New York Times bestselling portrait of Robert F. Kennedy, "Readers witness the evolution of Kennedy's soul. Through tragedy after tragedy we find the man humanized" (Associated Press). With his bestselling biography Jack Kennedy, Chris Matthews profiled of one of America's most beloved Presidents and the patriotic spirit that defined him. Now, with Bobby Kennedy, Matthews provides "insight into Bobby's] spirit and what drove him to greatness" (New York Journal of Books) in his gripping, in-depth, behind-the-scenes look at one of the great figures of the American twentieth century. Overlooked by his father, and overshadowed by his war-hero brother, Bobby Kennedy was a perpetual underdog. When he had the chance to become a naval officer like his older brother, Bobby turned it down, choosing instead to join the Navy as a common sailor. It was a life-changing experience that led him to connect with voters from all walks of life: young and old, black and white, rich and poor. They were the people who turned out for him in his 1968 campaign. RFK would prove himself to be the rarest of politicians--both a pragmatist who knew how to get the job done and an unwavering idealist who could inspire millions. Drawing on extensive research and interviews, Matthews pulls back the curtain on the private world of Robert Francis Kennedy. Matthew illuminates the important moments of his life: from his early years and his start in politics, to his crucial role as attorney general in his brother's administration and, finally, his tragic run for president. This definitive book brings Bobby Kennedy to life like never before.

Bobby's Journey Part 1 "The Medicine Wheel" A story of love, faith, and courage Living in the Rocky Mountains of Montana near the Lakota Indian reservation, a young settler boy, Bobby and his dad Elliott, are befriended by the Sioux chief and his family. Kicking Eagle, a young Indian brave, and Bobby have many adventures in the mountains. Bobby falls in love with Wind Song, the beautiful sister of Kicking Eagle and the daughter of the Sioux chief. Bobby and his trusted companions, Snuffy, a flop-eared mule, Diamond, his faithful dog and a "crazy eagle" embark on a spiritual journey into the Bear Tooth Mountains. Sent by Chief Big Sky on a "spirit walk" to find the sacred Medicine Wheel and his purpose in life, Bobby begins his awesome journey. A spiritual encounter with the Great White Wolf and a battle with a giant Rocky Mountain grizzly bear make Bobby's Journey, "one to remember". Only fifty yards separated Bobby from the most ferocious wild animal in the Rocky Mountains, the giant grizzly bear. With his arms and hands, shaking uncontrollably, Bobby cocked and raised his Winchester rifle to his shoulder. Drawing a deep breath to calm his nervousness, he took dead aim at the chest of the grizzly. "Diamond, sometimes you eat the bear and sometimes the bear eats you." Before he could pull the trigger on his rifle, the Montana monster dropped to all fours. Bobby hissed in frustration. Lowering the barrel of the rifle slightly to get a better look at what the enormous animal was going to do, Bobby and the giant grizzly locked eyes. The giant bear let out a vicious, bloodcurdling roar as the silver hair on its back stood straight up. The snow was six inches deep and still falling when the grizzly started his death run. The giant grizzly splashed through the freshly fallen snow, gaining speed with every thunderous stroke of his powerful legs and paws. Bobby fumbled with his rifle and cowered as he gasped at a ghostly image of Elliott that appeared suddenly between him and the bear. "P-pop?" he said. Elliott seemed to smile and wave. Flabbergasted by the image, Bobby blinked his eyes but the vision of his dad was still there. The massive grizzly burst through the image of Elliott, slobbering and roaring. Within an instant, Bobby's eyes changed from fright to sheer determination, as he raised his rifle. "This bear's for you, Pop." With lightning speed, Bobby discharged five rounds into the galloping monster. Not slowing down in the least, the enraged, wounded grizzly bear continued his death run. The bullets barely jerked the shoulders back on the giant. Bobby cocked his rifle for the sixth time, aimed right between the bear's eyes and pulled the trigger. The click of an empty chamber echoed in his ears. It was too late to run. Bobby closed his eyes and awaited the impact of an enraged, fifteen hundred pound, twelve foot, wild, wounded grizzly bear. With what he thought was his last breath, Bobby prayed. "Save me O' Great Father."
