Robert F. Kennedy in the Stream of History

“Author Terrence Paupp has produced a noble and notable effort to revive the Kennedy legacy when it is urgently needed. More than anyone in recent American history, Bobby Kennedy epitomized our better angels by his own journey from Cold War Warrior to passionate advocate for peace, justice, and liberation. It reminds us about the political vistas that were once present, and ignites out imagination with hopes for a better future.”

—Richard A. Falk, Princeton University

“Paupp’s surgical analysis on the statesmanship of RFK gives the reader a deft perspective on the failures of neoliberal capitalism and markets it sought to develop, the problems of social and economic inequality, and the persistent temptation of the US to intervene militarily throughout the Global South. It was during the late 1960s that America realized some of its finest moments are never put to rest as RFK, as well as Martin Luther King, Jr. and Nelson Mandela, struggled for an opening to the full human equality of every citizen. It is this history, with a popular and populist agenda almost intact, that compels attention in our time—which is an ‘age of austerity’ and the tyranny of the ‘one percent.’”

—Larry Birns, Director of Council on Hemispheric Affairs
