About this audiobook
From New York Times bestselling author Jerry Oppenheimer comes a sensational biography of the son of the legendary Senator and troubled standard bearer of America's most fabled political dynasty.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. inherited his assassinated father's piercing blue eyes and Brahmin style, earning a reputation as the nation's foremost environmental activist and lawyer - the "toxic avenger" - battling corporate polluters. But in this, the most revelatory portrait ever of a Kennedy, Oppenheimer places Bobby Jr., leader of the third generation of America's royal family, under a journalistic microscope.
Based on scores of exclusive, candid on-the-record interviews, public and private records, and correspondence, Jerry Oppenheimer paints a balanced, objective portrait of this virtually unaccounted-for scion of the Kennedy dynasty. Like his slain father, the iconic senator and presidential hopeful, RFK Jr. was destined for political greatness. Why it never happened is revealed in this first-ever biography of him.

Reviews for RFK Jr.
3 ratings2 reviews
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5From the first sentence Oppenheimer (himself far from any achievement his own name might have once held) indicts young Kennedy as the fuck up golden boy instead of the child who’s family was torn apart by powerful men.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Nasty unbalanced hit piece. Tries to undermine the man, and thereby indirectly, his mission.
