Summary

For twenty-five hours Senator Robert Kennedy clung to life by a perilously thin thread. That thread inevitably snapped. His assassin’s bullet had done its job. Robert Kennedy, father of ten children, Presidential candidate, and brilliant politician had met the same fate as his brother, the late President John F Kennedy. In America they mourned - the world mourned with them.
