This doesn't however detract from what is a very enjoyable read. It does show what a gutless wonder Robert Kennedy was, he wouldn't declare himself as a runner until McCarthy had done the hard work and Johnson had declared he wasn't standing again.
Martin Luther King gets a good mention. Interesting the book states that King's funeral was underwritten by Nelson Rockerfeller which was never publicized.
There is a gloss over on the music and Vietnam, but its mainly the Democratic Primaries.
Politics is a grubby, nasty business, populated by nasty,grubby individuals.
A book worth reading
