Summary: A Step Above a Tabloid
Comment: I bought this book thinking I was adding to my library of Robert Kennedy materials. Instead of being a serious critique or serious historical analysis of his political career, it was little more than a tabloidesque telling of his alleged adulterous affairs. When a person is elected into public office, that person is, in effect, being hired to do a job. That person's private life is not being hired. I see no real purpose in disclosing these alleged affairs and see nothing useful or constructive in this. If the author's purpose was to discredit the work of Robert Kennedy or trivialize him personally, he did not succeed. I have always believed Robert Kennedy was a man of strong character, a hard worker, sincere in his efforts and committed to his visions. I was really hoping for a serious portrayal of the man who would be president. Instead, I get what can most gently be described as "adult entertainment for those at the tabloid level." It really was a big disappointment.

Summary: Trashy, tawdry character assassination
Comment: This work seems to pay inglorious homage to a number of souls who held such dislike for RFK that, years after the fact of his horrible, untimely [end of life], they couldn't wait to spew sordid "detail" about the man in the hope of damaging his legacy. He cared about his family, he cared about the less fortunate, he cared about the powerless. He personnified those convictions. No politician on either side of the spectrum has ever succeeded in achieving what he did for a few crazy months in the craziest year of the latter half of the 20th century. We're a poorer society and culture because we were deprived of RFK far too early. Mr. Heyman should be ashamed of himself for writing this.
