In Love with Night by Ronald Steel
More than thirty years after his death, Robert Kennedy remains a potent figure in American mythology, a man equally revered and reviled. In IN LOVE WITH NIGHT, Ronald Steel looks closely at his character, his achievements and his failures, to present a refreshingly balanced portrait. Steel explores Kennedy's drive to fill his slain brother's shoes, to find personal validation through the transformation of politics and of society itself. He delves into the contradictions of Kennedy's public persona- an ardent prosecutor who abused the law, a champion of civil rights who allowed the FBI to torment Martin Luther King, a fervent Cold Warrior who opposed the Vietnam War. He uncovers the private man who calculatingly built his own legend and died before he was truly tested.
Ronald Steel is a professor of international relations at the University of Southern California. He is the author of WALTER LIPPMANN AND THE AMERICAN CENTURY as well as several books of American foreign policy. He is a regular contributor to THE NEW REPUBLIC, THE NEW YORK REVIEW OF BOOKS and THE NEW YORK TIMES.
