Industry Reviews "Thomas' book is exemplary. He knows how far the evidence will take him and how far it will not....The emotional pitch says high, where it belongs. Thomas knows he need not be maudlin. The life of Robert Kennedy does not need a boost to break the heart." Gitlin
"An impressively researched, richly detailed, tightly written account ....This is a warts-and-all potrait that is the single indispensable book about Robert Kennedy." Greenfield
"This judicious and thorough book is likely to be the most comprehensive and balanced study of the life and career of Robert F. Kennedy for a long time to come." New York Times Book Review - Michael Lind (09/10/2000)
"Mr. Thomas [writes] without the sentimentality that accompanies so much Kennedy hagiography. Indeed, Mr. Thomas is unsparing in his depiction of a man who truly could be as unpleasant and, yes, ruthless as his many, many enemies insisted....With subtle foreshadowing and an objective eye, Evan Thomas makes the case that Bobby Kennedy's transformation came from within. Even the worldly and the cynical will take away from this biography a greater appreciation of the Kennedys in general, and Robert Kennedy in particular." New York Observer - Terry Golway (09/11/2000)
"In his magisterial new biography, Evan Thomas brilliantly paints the picture of a troubled yet earnest man." Washington Post Book World - Thomas Sugrue (09/17/2000)
