As
a friend, advisor, and attorney general to his brother, John F.
Kennedy, Bobby Kennedy stood at the heart of Washington
politics. He is
remembered today as a compassionate, articulate, and
optimistic man—a
friend to the poor, an avid civil rights advocate, a
champion for
peace. World-renowned photojournalist Harry Benson’s images
capture
unprecedented intimate family outings and outdoor adventures
with
friends alongside every moment of Kennedy’s brief but
unforgettable
presidential run, from his announcement of his candidacy on St.
Patrick’s Day, 1968, and the fervor and excitement of his
days on the
campaign trail, all the way through his shocking
assassination in Los
Angeles and the long, sweltering funeral procession to Arlington
Cemetery. Here in elegant duotone photographs are glimpses
of the
exhilarating successes and challenging setbacks of RFK’s
campaign, the
chaos of that fateful night in LA, and the mourning of
hundreds of
thousands after their hero was struck down. Released in
commemoration
of the 40th anniversary of Kennedy’s death, and supplemented
with
excerpts from his speeches and from Benson’s own journals,
RFK: A
Photographer’s Journal is a fitting tribute to an
extraordinary man and
the legacy he left behind.
