Larry Tye is a New York Times bestselling author whose most recent book is a biography of Robert F. Kennedy, the former attorney general, U.S. senator, and presidential candidate. Tye explores RFK's life and times and his extraordinary transformation from cold war warrior to fiery leftist and fighter for justice and equality.
Robert Kennedy began his public life as counsel to the red-baiting senator Joseph McCarthy. He ended it with a noble campaign to unite working-class whites and poor. Author Larry Tye draws on access granted to him by the Kennedy family and others, including unpublished memoirs, interviews with RFK intimates, and unreleased government files. The result is a book that will stand as the definitive biography of a man much beloved, but just as often misunderstood.
Larry Tye has been an award-winning journalist at The Boston Globe and a Nieman Fellow at Harvard University. He now runs a Boston-based training program for medical journalists. He is the author of the New York Times bestseller Satchel, as well as Superman, The Father of Spin, Home Lands, and Rising from the Rails, and co-author, with Kitty Dukakis, of Shock. He lives in Massachusetts.
