“The story of Robert Kennedy's presidential campaign is one that, with the benefit of a half-century's worth of hindsight, has a lot of built-in tension. We see him campaigning across the country, marching towards the inevitability of becoming the second Kennedy brother to fall victim to an assassin's bullet in four-and-a-half years.
While any retelling of that story has that inevitable built-in tension, it's the really good ones that still grab you by the throat and pull you into the hectic, fast-paced whirlwind through Kentucky, Indiana, Oregon, and California. It's the really good ones that still feel like a punch in the gut when Sirhan Sirhan fires the trigger, when Ethel Kennedy kneels at her husband's side, when supporters walk around the Ambassador dazed after Bobby's been transported to the hospital, when, after more than a day of increasingly dire reports, Frank Mankiewicz announced Bobby's death to a stunned traveling press corps.
Witcover was one of the boys on the bus covering the campaign, and his familiarity with the man and the events are apparent. And boy, does he know how to tell this story in a powerful way.”
