To Seek a Newer World

Though the entire book is more of a collection of essays and speeches, it does its best to address issues that are still prevalent in todays America. At times there are relevant statistic that support RFK's position and reveal the intricacies of wage and employment gaps in the 60's. Despite his position as a Liberal, he does not wholly advocate for government intervention and the supreme power of the Federal government; he advocates for compassion and human value to solve problems.

Book was delivered in outstanding condition, in spite of its age. The topics of this book are timeless. The challenges of the late sixties and early seventies still exist today (war, wealth inequity, race relations, and employment for people of color). Causes you to wonder "what if", the Kennedys had lived; this country and the world (since we are the leader of the free world) would be much different (arguably much better for all).

The essays contained in this book are the fundamentals for inspiration. Everybody should read this book, most of the stuff is still relevant today.

Well written, great read

The book arrived in a1 condition and was just as advertised

A great book.

This book is brilliant, I did find that most of the problems he explains that are in other countries (i.e. university environment in non-us countries) are now the predominate issues in the US. It’s almost as if we took the lake 50 years of what not to do, and implemented them in the US.

To reread( I came across a second hand copy of this book today) To Seek A Newer World, is not so much to note what is now outdated( The Vietnam War) but to realize as to what is STILL relevant nearly FIFTY years after RFK published his book( truth be told "Bobby" as he was known to friends and foe alike was always ahead of his time to some extent- as far back as 1961, shortly after becoming US Attorney General, he publicly forecast that an African American would become President of the United States- although he of course never lived to see Barack Obama's election to the Presidency; ironically enough Obama was born that very year). RFK never lived to see the accession-and later resignation of the bete noire of American liberals- to the Presidency, Richard Nixon, Jimmy Carter's surprise upset victory in 1976, his 1980 defeat by Ronald Reagan, the election of Pope-and now St-John Paul II, the Velvet Revolution of 1989 that toppled Communist regimes in Eastern Europe-and ultimately the USSR itself, globalization, 9/11 and the "War On Terror, but much of what he writes in his book is valid even nowadays, most of all his call for young people not to give into to apathy, despair or sterile hedonism, but to realize that although no one man( or woman for that matter; whilst I am aware that feminism was barely on the horizon in 1967, I do wish he would have paid more attention and advice to young women or even women irrespective of their ages)can single handedly change the current of history, combined together, the pressure of many can sweep away even the most entrenched tyrannical regime. "Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country!" was JFK's inaugural statement. Bobby Kennedy was or might have been the greatest 20th century US President America NEVER had!

Even better shape and got here quicker than I expected!

Dated, however the arguments against endless war and Empire remain valid.
