The Photographs Make The Book June 29, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Author Peter Hamill provides us with a wonderful essay about Robert Kennedy and his times at the beginning of this book, but it is the photographs that make this the book what it is. Study the faces closely. You see hope, joy, ecstasy, weariness, and sadness to name a few. It takes incredible talent to see a message that a photograph conveys for ever so brief a period of time, and photographer Bill Eppridge had done that in bringing back Robert Kennedy's campaign across America in 1968 as he sought the Democratic nomination for president. You hear it often said that a photograph is worth one thousand words, and this book is a good testament to that phrase. It is not absolutely necessary, but I would suggest reading The Last Campaign by author Thurston Clarke prior to reviewing the photographs in A Time It Was: Bobby Kennedy in the Sixties. I feel it will give you a better appreciation of this time period in American history.
The more things change, the more they are the same. July 2, 2008
This book combines photographs and comments from those involved in the Robert Kennedy presidential campaign. Some of the photos are presented for the first time. It has been forty years, but unfortunately, not much has changed. In 1968 we had a young man calling for change and attempting to extract us from a misguided war and stimulate the economy. Hm, sounds familiar.

I got plenty of information about this order. When it was slightly delayed, I was informed, as well as when it shipped. I was very impressed with the service.
Memory Lane July 6, 2008
This book of pictures was a wonderful walk down memory lane for me. At 16 I was to join the Kennedy campaign as a volunteer after the California primary. On the morning I was to depart, my parents woke me with the news of his shooting. This book, however, reminded me of the promise unfulfilled Robert Kennedy represented--how much better we would have been as a people, as a country, as a government had he been president in 1969 instead of Richard Nixon.
 a time it was July 7, 2008
