An Inside Account

In the spring of 1968, Robert Kennedy embarked on a presidential campaign that would capture the imagination of the nation. With his charisma, idealism, and commitment to social justice, Kennedy inspired millions of Americans to believe in a better future.

But Kennedy's campaign was cut short on June 6, 1968, when he was assassinated in Los Angeles. In the aftermath of his death, the nation was left to mourn the loss of a promising leader and to wonder what might have been.

Now, for the first time, author Jeff Greenfield offers an inside account of Kennedy's final 85 days. Drawing on extensive interviews with Kennedy's family, friends, and campaign staff, Greenfield provides a vivid and intimate portrait of the man and his campaign. He reveals the behind-the-scenes story of Kennedy's decision to run for president, his struggles with the Vietnam War, and his vision for a more just and equitable America.

85 Days is a must-read for anyone interested in American history, politics, or the life and legacy of Robert Kennedy. It is a powerful and moving account of a man who dedicated his life to making a difference in the world.
