American Values

Lessons I Learned from My Family

De: Robert F. Kennedy

Narrado por: Stephen Graybill

With rich detail, compelling honesty, and a storyteller’s gift, RFK Jr. describes growing up Kennedy in a tumultuous time in history that eerily echoes the issues of nuclear confrontation, religion, race, and inequality that we confront today.

This powerful book combines the best aspects of memoir and political history. The third child of Attorney General Robert Kennedy and nephew of JFK takes us on a journey through his life, including watershed moments in the history of our nation.

These pages come vividly to life with intimate stories of RFK Jr.’s own experiences, not just with historical events and the movers who shaped them, but also with his mother and father, his own struggles with addiction, and the ways he eventually made peace with both his Kennedy legacy and his own demons. The result is a book that is remarkably stirring and relevant, providing both insight and hope for all Americans at a time when they are needed like never before.

Insightful

I enjoyed this book by RFK Jr. I liked the forthright and honest manner of the book. The Kennedy’s are an intriguing family.

American Values

I loved this book! I enjoyed everything about it and learned a lit about both Kennedy boys:Jack and Bobby. And I was young when Jack was assassinated but I knew it was a very sad thing to happen, then Martin Luther King, then Bobby. The history in this book was so much better than history from school. Thank you very much for writing this book!

Historically awesome, insightful and profound.

Very good, understated, yet strong amd rich, narration. An excellent trip through tumultuous times in the lives of very special Americans, who paid a grear price for their good deeds. Thank you Robert Kennedy!

Problem with Plurals

Great story, poor pronunciation. The narrator.
Stephen Graybill‘s misunderstanding of how to pronounce plural words is very distracting from what is otherwise, a fascinating book.

Like other men in his family, RFK, Jr, is wonderfully articulate and a great raconteur. However, the narrator, with his poor understanding of how to pronounce basic words such as “Barnstable,” all but totally ruined the Audible version.

It would have been nice to have even an introduction by RFK, Jr.

Despite his spasmodic dysphonia, I would rather listen to him any day of the week.

Fascinating From Start To Finish

Mr.Kennedy shares incredible insight into America’s one and only royal family. I learned not only interesting history, but also tools at how to process things in my every day, things that now through this book have a new light shed on them. An absolute must read. We should only be so blessed as to have Mr. Kennedy become our next president.
