"Responsibility and Compassion. The New World of Robert Kennedy." Presentation of the book by the author Antonio Marchesi.
The text retraces, through his speeches, the career of Robert Kennedy, from his early experiences in the Senate committees of the 1950s that made him known to the American public, to the presidential campaign tragically interrupted by the Los Angeles assassination on June 5, 1968. The book presents in chronological order the main events, stories, and battles in which Kennedy was a key figure. His words powerfully convey the idealism, energy, empathy, dedication, indignation, and courage that characterized him, highlighting the dramatic relevance of the serious issues he addressed with such intense engagement (poverty, crime, inequality, civil rights, peace, development...). Foreword by Michele Nicoletti.
